I've been checking out LinuxBBQ 'Proof' Live for a couple of days now (running on an older Eee PC netbook - which I call my "toy laptop"). Earlier today, I had a chance to "chat" with a couple of you on IRC - thanks for the help. Anyway, I'm really enjoying 'Proof', as it's pretty light and 'kind' on my little toy. Currently, I'm just getting familiar with the menus, settings, etc.
First noob question... is it possible to 'apt-get install' packages using the Live USB? Didn't work for me:
Code: Select all
bbq@grill:~$ sudo apt-get install xchat
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package xchat is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'xchat' has no installation candidate
