You use 'dpkg -i filename.deb', but this probably won't help you, since it'll depend on a bunch of stuff. > do i have to download a non-debian-package and then compile it (to avoid > that, i changed to debian-linux). Depends if it's in Debian or not. Debian isn't magic; someone has to actually package stuff at some point. If it's not in Debian (as above), then you can file a RFP (request for package) bug, and perhaps someone will package it for you. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> http://ertius.org/
