RE: Downloading deb's

["justin cunningham" <jcunningham@engine8.com>]

Here's a random question:  I've never been able to use apt-get to
install the qmail deb package-- it's always crapped out; though I hadn't
tried with wget.  Has anyone pulled down the qmail package with apt
successfully?  Justin

the easiest way if you don't want to use apt-get is :
	wget -i debs_file

where debs_file is a file with url's for the debs that you want.

I hope this helps
