hi ...
try to use apt-get....
with "apt-get update" you receive the package informations (provided by
/etc/apt/sources.list)...
with "apt-get install <packagename>" you get the wanted packages...
but it's usefull (when dealing with woody) to use "apt-get -s install
<packagename>",
then apt-get only shows what it "would" do...
i hope i could help you a bit, cos im a newbie either...
greets peter
