Advanced Mode On Eee 1000

I’ve been spending some time with my Eee PC 1000-baby, and I got to say I love surfin’ the web on this little bastard. But I had a problem installing the Advanced Mode:

The toturials say that you first need to run a sudo apt-get update, but it was then I got my error, saying:

Failed to fetch file:/tmp/.CqX86uoP/dists/tmp/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz   File not found

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used                                             instead.

To remedy this problem, all I had to do was:

1. Start a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
2. Open the repository list (sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list)
3. Comment out all non-Asus repositories; add a # before the rep-URL
4. Save (CTRL+O, then ENTER) and exit (CTRL+X)

After that, I followed the Install Advanced Mode-tutorial, and it worked! Now I’m hard at work modifying my sweet baby when I should, in fact, study for final exams…sigh.
