    Can someone explain the correct syntax to edit the source.list file. for Ubuntu Karmic (9.10). I don't understand where to add the "key" information. Also after I add all of this to the source.list file, what actually starts the download?

    I downloaded the following thinking this would start the download of DRBL but I am missing something:
    trainer@clonezilla:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -install drbl_1.9.5-42_i386.deb
    (Reading database … 144534 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to replace drbl 1.9.5-42 (using drbl_1.9.5-42_i386.deb) …
    Unpacking replacement drbl …
    Setting up drbl (1.9.5-42) …
    trainer@clonezilla:~/Downloads$ cd /

    Please follow http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/ to do that.
    What you have to do is use a text editor, e.g. gedit or vim to edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and append the lines described in
    http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/
    Then follow the above URL to do that.

    Steven.
