Hello, Can I install the SW with the command "dpkg -i programname" Is there any simple way of installing the SW? For example I tried with dpkg -i php or dpkg -i php.deb etc.
dpkg is the command line tool for installing a package you made or previously downloaded by yourself.
apt is the tool for automatically download and install a package and its dependencies. dselect is an universal char-based front-end to apt.
try this, as root: apt-get update apt-get install php4 then give a look at dselect and what it could do for you. bye! gl :)
