I have downloaded from an FTP site, a couple of .deb files that i want to install on my debian package. when i use the dpackage command, and i advise that i have these files on floppy discs, it finds my .deb files and has them as dselected, therefore it will not install them. this appears to be because they are not on the default list of packages that were installed with my debian package, I have ordered the CD rom for debian, which should have all the .deb packages on it, but i am not sure i can get my CD-rob to be read by debian. I would like to first install the packages from floppy if i can get it to let me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also i have a barebones debian package right now (with just basic debian and linux stuff), and i am an avid AIX user. I noticed alot of commands are the same and alot are different. For instance on AIX, i can scroll a list of files in a directory by typing ls -l | pg (the one page at a time command)...how can i get accomplish this on linux? is there somewhere i can get a quick reference of linux commands??
