Hi, I seem to be unable to install nano. I get the following message:couldn't find package nanoI did apt-get update (even sudo apt-get), but to no avail. I'm on an Ultra 2 (4.2.27).

You would need to uncomment the last line in your /etc/apt/sources.listThen re run# apt-get update && apt-get install nano

Thanks for the reply! How do I uncomment the last line? I'm a bit of a Linux-noob

You can e.g. use the vi command to do that.

I'll try that when I get home, thanks

If I do
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
I get the following output:

#deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main
with lots of ```````

So not really a line for me to uncomment.

The # at the start of that line needs removing.

Awesome! That worked.
I should have started this thread stating I'm a Linux noob. Oh well...
