Hi, I've downloaded Samba as a .deb file. Is there an easy way for me to
install from that?
dpkg -i <package> should work. Check the dpkg man pages for exact syntax.
I'm probably doing this all wrong, have put the distro in /root/debs

Can you help straighten me out here?
P.S. How come you didn't bring it in through apt-get or synaptic or
aptitude (just curious!)
I've got a hosed up woody install on a marginal pc - 166Mhz/48MB ram and
broken cdrom although it worked for the mini-iso install. OTOH if I can get
samba working that'll be okay enough to keep this on my network.
Thanks in advance.
