found the rpm apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm then I it installed fine but when I tried this command apt-get update && apt-get install synaptic it failed with errors like these... Err http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/9/i386 release Temporary failure resolving 'ayo.freshrpms.net' Failed to fetch http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat/9/i386/base/release Temporary failure resolving 'ayo.freshrpms.net' Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done W: Release files for some repositories could not be retrieved or authenticated. Such repositories are being ignored. W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. (I got the instructions from http://www.linuxworld.palos.org/) Any suggestions are always welcome! Thanks

Please help me! My linux experience is about 3 weeks old now and up until now,it has been a comfortable learning curve. I'm having trouble trying to install xine and what I'm looking for is an idiot-proof procedure to install xine! Tried using rpms but I get dependency complaints which leave me baffled as I don't know the install sequence; tried using apt-get and again no luck as it complains that it can't find the xine-0.9.22-1.fr.i386.rpm package. If someone could spoon-feed me a fool-proof procedure for me I will be extremely grateful, ie what to get, install sequence, what to look out for etc etc
