Slapt-get working on Vectorlinux
Well I have had the problem of slapt-get not working on some fresh installs of Vector that I do. I would re-install and it would work, for no apparent reason. Today I think I found the reason why. I think I uncommented too many sources in the slaptgetrc file. I have been using Australian mirrors as well as the default one. So this time I only uncommented 1 sources per section, that being the default one. This corrected the problem of slapt-get trying to install from a local source (file:///mnt/somewhere) that was never uncommented in the slaptgetrc [made troubleshooting very confusing].
