Carrie Webb: We do have a question from G. Seagle I hope I’m saying that right, and they would like to know, is there a way to back up your repository list?
Robbie Ferguson: Yeah, if you’d like too. Just going back to when we were talking about repositories. So, the way to do that, I think we’ve got to read access to it anyway, just bring up Places and Home Folder okay, and press Control L, that’s going to give you access to this location bar and go into etc/apt/okay, just like you see there. You’ll see a file called sources.list let’s see. Here, it’s up there on my top right conner, that is actually the file that contains all of your repository information.
As the default user you don’t have access to editing that file not from the current you know, you’ve got to be super user. Here’s all the repositories here right. So, but what we can do we can obviously read it, so I can right click on that file copy it and paste it in anywhere I want as a back up, so if I want to drop that on my desktop, there’s a copy of that file now it’s a backup. And of course, looking at some of the back up software that we’ve look at in the past, we could use backup program to backup specifically that file.
