@swanson

as i mentioned in OP... it is such a handy little device. I loaded Qgis, and all my data so that i can sit in the car at my sons school, and look for data for requests that i might get via email...

Thanks, but as i mentioned.... i am completely new to devuan, well linux for that matter, so a guide to do what i need to do will be appreciated. As for the "typewriter" part..... it is actually usable (even Qgis)

Good morning (well in South Africa in any case)

1st post.

I have this old Dell Inspiron 1018 netbook that i thought i would resurrect, as it is a very nice size, I added a ssd. I am a windows guy (never worked on linux), so i thought i would try some linux things for a change..... I installed a few linux derivatives but i never liked any of them, until i tried Devuan. I really like it... Even managed to get QGis installed......

Here is my question....... I looked up a way to install a different browser (midori) via terminal (dont know why), and i managed to break something.....

If i go to Synaptic now i get this message.... Please tell me what to do to fix it.... Dont want to re-install

E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/midori.list (type)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
E:_cache->open() failed, cannot continue.

also, please forgive me if i used the wrong terminology. as i mentioned i am new to linux (but i can learn fast)
