Uncommenting a file -- for slackpkg
# slackpkg update"
This is a simple noob question: There are a few mirrors to choose form in the file. But, I'm wondering whether you uncomment just the FTP line or
the two lines:
#USA, 45 Mbit
# FTP line.
Do I uncomment both lines for this to work properly, or just the one ftp line?
I'm sure it's obvious to a geek, but not to a noob. Any help would be appreciated.

No, just the FTP one. The other line is an actual comment on the (performance of the) server

Freston,
Thanks, that helps, expecially when you explain what a line is for. How would I know otherwise?

It is therefore my estimation the author of the mirrors file has seen fit to include some commentary remarks on the performance of the mirroring servers for the benefit of the human operator.
