Ubuntu question

[Blitzkreig75]

I just got the new Ubuntu, (version 5.10), and have a few questions.

I couldn't find any data burning software,(like K3B in Mepis), does it have one?

Also, what repositories do I aquire packages from, (like debian for Mepis)?

As you can tell, I've used Mepis for a bit.....

Just as in mepis and all other debian based distros you can install (almost) any software with APT. perhaps you want to 'man apt-get'. Also Ubuntu's Wiki has a little to say on the subject. However to answer your question more directly, the easiest way to get a cd burning tool is:

$sudo apt-get install k3b

Let us know if you get what you need, or not .

A weeee bit out of date:

also there should be synaptic installed by default in the gnome menu somewhere if you haven't customized too much yet.

Alright, that's done. Thanx.

What about Wine? I can't find it in synaptic and apt-get isn't working either.

This is what I want to do:

you need to add some repositories so you can apt-get whatever you want

Umm you should be able to follow those directions exactly to set up cedega. If you run into any problems though you could post back errors, etc.

I got wine and "cervesa"(?) via apt-get. But when I apt-get all the packages in the likned article, I get a message "msttcorefonts does not have an installer" or something about install instructions for msttcorefonts. Everything else installs O.K.

When I run the "sh WineCVS.sh" command, it says the directory does not exist. I'm stuck on step 3 of the linked article.

I downloaded the "script", but I can't understand what to do with it. I don't know how to even read the stuff! It's nearly Greek. I thought this was supposed to make it EASY for anyone to do this. It's just not working. PLEASE help!!!

Change to the location where the WineCVS.sh is lying and start it with:
$ sh WineCVS.sh

Are you in the directory you downloaded the script to? You have to change to the directory you downloaded the script to.

I downloaded the script to my desktop. I don't know how to change directories. I've used Mepis a bit, but I've never done anything like this.

Your patience is highly appreciated....
