That won't be neccessary; KDE 3.1 will be in Sid Any Time Now. Anyway, the correct line for installing under woody is deb http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/kde/ woody main Other than that, I can't help you. > 2) How can I install a .deb file that I've downloaded with my browser?

Apt-get acts as a frontend to dpkg, downloading and installing packages in the right order. You can call dpkg directly (dpkg -i) to instll your own packages; apt-get will still be aware of it and assume proper dependencies, as it shares dpkg's database for that. > And, if the answer or info I'm looking for isn't in the apt-get man page, > where would it be? The APT HowTo and the dpkg man page. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+QgmO9OlFkai3rMARApp/AJ9TRue22tjCvlsfn+XJIIxpKtKZOwCfRZ06 imaCfs//xuHG/41PP4bjjmc= =BHS+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
