This looks like an executable binary. You can just download it, make it executable (with a file manager or on the console with 'chmod 755 /path/to/file'. But I suggest you use apt instead. > it doesnot see to be a .deb package Correct. > I am not able to install ckermit using > > #apt-get install ckermit > > because I chose "no" while I was asked about instaling non-free > software while configuring apt during debian install. How do I change > that?? Open your /etc/apt/sources.list with a text editor. You most probably have lines like these (mirror or distribution may differ): deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib Just add the word 'non-free' after 'main contrib' in all lines and try an 'apt-get update'. If you get some 404 Errors, remove non-free from the offending lines. J. -- I cannot comprehend the idea of chemical and biological weapons.
