Wrote 122 entries to output Packages file.

the above is the output after i tried to build a local repositories. I dont understand whether it contains some error or what. can u give me any suggestions to what to do now? i followed the guide from debian.org

2. Firefox
I download the tar ball of firefox 2 and then extract in my home directory. and then tried with ./configure but nothing happens. then i tried to run the file "firefox" & nothing happens. this is kind of odd bcoz i tried the same thing with my friends ubuntu system & it worked fine (mine is kubuntu 6.06). now on this situation how can i run firefox? bcoz there's no deb file for firefox2 for dapper so i download the source from mozilla website & then try to configure & install & nothing happens

3.wine
does wine works fine with kubuntu. I tried it with ubuntu and it worked fine. i also tried with the live kubuntu cd & it did not work, or worked very poorly.

4.shell script
another thing is shell script . i tried to run the "run-firefox.sh" file it says cant run the script and didnt say what the problem. any idea what to do?

5.proxy authorization
my isp uses a proxy. i have a username & password but i dont understand how to do with synaptic package manager. that is i configure the proxy in "Proxy Settings" but there's no box or something to put the username and password so when I tried to update the repositories it said http authorization failed or needed but it did not show any dialog box to put the username+pass. i hope u'd understand what i wanted to say.

i guess there's a configuration file which can be found in /etc but i exactly dont know which is the file i am looking for. plz help me how can i do this

Well, I can't help you with the repository question, but I'll try to help on other points:

2 - if you enable the dapper-backports repository, you can get a .deb of firefox2 for dapper.

3 - Wine has been running great for me in both Dapper and Edgy. It has really helped me make Kubuntu my main desktop

4 - have you made the shell script executable? i.e.

chmod +x run-firefox.sh

Hi,
Im no expert but with regards to (2) have you installed build-essential, kdelibs4-dev, gcc and gcc-4.0 and had you entered the directory that the source code had been untared into.

Firefox's tarball is not source--it's a precompiled binary. Use this script to install it properly:
