--fix-missing

I'm installing the desktop to make it easier to configure my server.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

well at 99% I get,

failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mesa/libglu1-mesa_6.4.1-0ubuntu8_i386.deb

unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing

Should I rerun that command?

I figured something out with linux. When it doesn't work... just keep trying it.

Might have been a temporary problem with name resolution or something like that.
