Re: Installing a downloaded .deb ?
When you do the dpkg -i whatever.deb
you must of course do it as root. And you only use ./ if you are in the
same directory to which it was downloaded. If you downloaded into
/home/whateveryourusername[is as root you do dpkg -i
/home/whateveryourusernameis/whatever.deb. If you see dependency error
messages and it doesn't install, you will have to obtain the missing
packages cited. Only go download a .deb when there's some reason you can't
apt-get it, in my opinion.
