Hi,
I am trying to install jessie backports, on to my VPS.
I have tried editing and saving the etc/apt/sources.list but I get the
[ Error writing etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory ]
this I don't understand as I have tired :
touch etc/apt/sources.list
when I open the sources.list it is empty.
I am logged in as root too, so permissions would not be an issue..

Installing Jessie
Re: Installing Jessie
The error is normal:
you need to spend a little time understanding basic commands and the file system as a regular user before experimenting as root.

I wonder what guide this is, if it does not even give the correct path, thereI am following a guide on how to install jessie its very straight forward
is a good chance it is wrong about other things as well, I have never heard of using 'touch' to edit the file, either.
Usually one uses a editor , ie:
Code: Select all
#nano /etc/apt/sources.list
After the file is opened, edit it as needed.

Also it is a good idea to read :

Don't blindly follow bad advice
Unfortunately there's a lot of bad advice on the Internet. Tutorials found on blogs, forums and other sites often include instructions that will break your system in subtle ways. Don't simply follow the first advice you find, or the tutorial that seems the easiest. Spend some time reading the documentation and compare the difference between tutorials.
