Make sure you did "sudo su", enter your password, try to edit it again.

bongo's tip is not bad. Even better would be
Code: [Select]
sudo editor /etc/apt/sources.list

I did edit /etc/apt/sources.list but it breaks the installer

will the files that cannot be found during installation be included in an upcoming snapshot?   For some reason I was getting hung on Alsa package linuxmce beta2 repository.  That confused me since it is still available.
