Re: Switching from windows to linux - config problems

[Jon <torance.ca@xxxxxxxxx>]

I followed the instructions on the Debian/Ubuntu web page.

> Please show what you added to your sources.list.
 deb     http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org lenny main

>What distro are you running? Debian 5.03 and 5.04, Unbuntu server 9.10 and desktop Unbuntu 9.10

> Is your Internet connection configured?
yes, I can get out with no problems

everything works fine except when the export line is put in. I end up
with an error saying something to the effect that the public key is
invalid. ( i dont have a c/p of it, I am trying to remember from
memory )

Just like you did, getting it right, the guys on IRC channel went thru
it with me also and did some little tricks and they all came out
exactly. But when I still added the last line, same thing happened.

The only thing I can think of is I am using a Virtual drive, and that
last  line breaks. But my gut tells me that is not the problem. I may
have to dig in the celler and bring out some old box's and trying it
in a Hard Drive straight and see if the same issue happens.

I am hoping to be able to use it thru a Virtual Drive if I can.

Thanks
