What you need to do is grad the apache archive and any dependencies that you don't have and install with this command (as root). dpkg -i apache_$$versioninfo$$.deb Get it? You need a file to install from, you can't just type "dpkg -i apache". I think that reading the debian FAQ will help in this regard. Get it from www.debian.org under docs. Hope that helps Ken
