Foe example, using vi, at a command line, as root, enter 'vi /etc/apt/sources.list' then: -press 'i' (for insert) -then press 'enter', followed by an up-arrow. (That should give you a clear line at the top of the file, with the cursor there) -add the desired line (it will be the first line in the file) -press 'Esc' (escape) -press ':wq' (collin for command mode, then 'write' and 'quit' That should do it for editing the file, you can always 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' to view it. Hope that helps... Here is a related email I received from a co-worked (I was on holidays) regarding this: "Works as advertised except for the import of GPG key. Get the key from fedora.us instead of fedoralegacy.org. Just finished updating my RH9 install at work." -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
