COMMENT
So whatever happened to the three-step Linux install method?
Confused that this is yet another installation method.
Uncertain re proceeding, as I want software linked to the software repository for automatic software updates.
Downloaded the what I guess is the compressed file & it's sitting in a folder on my desktop but that's not what I had in mind.
Might set this aside & think about what I want to do tomorrow.
It's embarrassing how things seem to make sense while doing notes, and then when you go apply what you think you've understood, it all kind of falls apart and makes no sense at all.
Problem: to edit the source.list
in order to do things the 'repository way', I need to know what to input into the source.list file & I have no idea.
As I'm already over this and just want to go to sleep, I'd hate to think what the program is going to be like.
Maybe going through all this is going to be a huge waste of time.
