wow. i guess this is cut & pasted from some translation software... :) hope i read your post correctly -- here goes: with the debian "apt-get" command you can install packages from your CD or directly from a local file:/ directory or through the internet via http:// or ftp:// protocols. the command "apt-setup" will start you off; if you have the standard CD roms, you can start from there. one of the nice things about APT-GET is that it will resolve the dependencies automatically. for more details, see http://www.eGroups.com/files/newbieDoc/apt-get-intro.html -- See, if you were allowed to keep the money, you wouldn't create jobs with it. You'd throw it in the bushes or something. But the government will spend it, thereby creating jobs. -- Dave Barry [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** http://www.dontUthink.com/ volunteer to document your experience for next week's newbies -- http://www.eGroups.com/messages/newbieDoc
