dpkg and deb files, Thanks

["Rick" <kitty5@dial.pipex.com>]

Hi,
Thanks to a suggestion i have managed to sucessfully install some deb files
from a mounted vfat\msdos partition! Hurrah!

There were still some err messages when installing man-db, but they we only
about not finding some language files, everything works fine!

the command i used to mount the vfat/msdos partition is

mount -t vfat -o binary,rw /dev/hda5 /dos-d

Thanks to all who helped!
All i need now is some guidence on what files to get next!, i am leaving
x-win until the cd arrives, but if anybody has any farorite packages that
will be good for a newbie, just some general thinks to help get to grips
with linux, fun stuff etc!

anyhow, thanks again.
Rick
