iv been trying to create a new file in /etc/apt but there is no option
(its grey so I cant select it). Does anyone know how i can get around
this? I need to create a file called apt.conf so that i can disable
passive ftp... help is greatly appreciated....

I think Shingi "forgot" to get root before trying to create
