Re: Installation
It's not for everyone, but if you do not mind using a command line,
you can try
dpkg -i package-name.deb
where package-name.deb is the file of stuff that you want to
install. Look for a file called
Packages.gz
that contains the standard descriptions of all the .deb files you may
want to install as well as the order in which to install them. You can
read this file with the command
zless Packages.gz
I know all of this may sound a little clumsy, but if you don't mind
reading the descriptions and understanding what you want, you'll end
up learning a heck of a lot about what you put on your system. I've
been using debian a little over three years now, and I still use
dpkg. I recommend it to experts and _patient_ beginners.
