Hi,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 6.10 on my macbook.. I up to a point to where I need to apt-get install lilo lilo-doc and I get the following error

Package lilo is not available, but is referred by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available form another source.

I can browse the web so it's not a network issue I believe. Is there a way I can test that apt-get is working or not.

Thanks Randy

Fixed it.. Just did a apt-get update first.
