If you have ssh server and xterm installed, you can: - run xterm - ssh root at localhost - cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.oryg - add all repositories you want or copy from internet ready file - or if you have already "extended" version: cp /etc/apt/sources.list."extended" /etc/apt/sources.list - apt-get update Usually if something is wrong with repositories sites/files/keys it shows some error and it helps with further investigation.
