wow. i guess this is cut & pasted from some translation
software... :)
hope i read your post correctly -- here goes:
with the debian "apt-get" command you can install packages
from your CD or directly from a local file:/ directory or
through the internet via http:// or ftp:// protocols.
the command "apt-setup" will start you off; if you have the
standard CD roms, you can start from there.
one of the nice things about APT-GET is that it will resolve the
dependencies automatically.
