Hi list, I want to install many packets at once with apt-get. So I wrote a file, like file-list: htop vim apache2 apt-get shall use this file as it's input eg apt-get install < file-list (notworking) does anyone knows a solution? heiko kokemoor
Consider using aptitude, if a (curses) GUI would be appropriate. apt-get can take multiple package names on the command line:
#apt-get install pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 pkg4 ...although dependencies and conflicts might get a little tricky. Or you can write a small bash script.
