Selecting and editing file sources
Before you can install applications, you must specify a file source. A file source is the location from which the application is retrieved. You can choose from three file sources: a Corel LINUX CD-ROM, a distribution site, or a custom path to a source. You can also change the custom path file source, or add new custom paths for file sources.
To select a file source
1. Click Application Starter, Applications, System, Corel Update.
2. Click Options, Set File Sources.
3. In the Package Sources dialog box, enable any of the following check boxes:
Corel LINUX CD-ROMa disk that contains new or updated Debian application files
Distribution Sitea path that is inserted when you install Corel LINUX
Custom Path(s)a path that is linked to an FTP or HTTP site that contains Debian applications and updates
Note
The Distribution Site path is automatically inserted when you install Corel LINUX. You cannot modify the Distribution Site path.
To edit a custom path file source
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from the previous procedure.
2. Enable the Custom Path check box.
3. Click the Edit button.
4. Type the path for the custom path in the Source box.
