Re: [PLUG] First attempt at creating a customized Live CD

Eric,

Not sure what you mean by "that line". If you are referring to the 
add-apt-repository command that creates the file 
/etc/apt/sources/list.d/libreoffice-ppa-natty.list (or lucid, maverick) 
which has essentially the same effect as adding a repo to your 
sources.list file. It does not add  to the sources.list nor does it 
activate any repos already in the sources.list.

Usually to get Java you can uncomment lines in your sources.list file 
referring to the partners repo which is where you can find Sun's Java, 
Flash, Skype and more. I have never seen extras.ubuntu.com so I will 
check that out.
