Hey Mikey, As Joseph said, don't go mixing repositories. Use only repositories that are made for your *specific* distro. It'll just break things if you use repos for other distros (or even other versions of the same distro). Just because another distro is debian based doesn't mean that it's repos will work with your debian based distro. Do yourself a favor and don't go there. No, you can not email someone a downloaded iso. It's too big. If you need some CDs, send me the URL of what you want and I'll download and burn it for you.
