Kambing : PCLOS 2007 repository

I have a friend who used PCLinuxOS 2007 and i am happy for him since now he can make his desktop became cube, rotate it and also burned. One day he asked me : can i have a link of pclos repo from Indonesia ? because, it took long time to get the repo from abroad servers.


I tried to find how to switch pclos repo to kambing ( this name is so familiar to Indonesian Linuxers ), and then i made it.

Here is the steps :
  1. open super user terminal
  2. type --> vi /etc/apt/sources.list
  3. go to the last line and add below line to it
  4. rpm http://kambing.ui.edu/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2007 main extra nofree kde
  5. put # on the rest of the other lines of repositories
  6. save it and close it ( esc, ZZ )
  7. type --> apt-get update
  8. done
now, my friend can install or update from kambing which is faster !
