Hardly... Not much has disappeared... our repos work...and then there is the gronmayer catalogue project ...hunting down what 3rd parties are gone and what are active still..... I did extensive research and cataloguing on just what has been lost. Very little in the end... But that isn't to say we haven't lost some things...especially from third party repos . Also you may wish to install cssu , turbo, and few more things. Check my signature for complete walkthroughs for the n8x0 that is what the links are there for...the new n8x0 folks
