The 'dpkg' command is most similar to the 'rpm' command; if you have an individual .deb file, 'dpkg -i foo.deb' will install it, replacing any previously existing version, and will complain if its dependencies aren't available. To actually download and install packages, most people use some variant of the APT tool set. I recommend using 'aptitude', a console-mode UI that will list the packages and allow you to mark packages for installation and removal, resolve any dependency conflicts, automatically remove unused packages, and finally do a bulk download/install/remove. The 'apt-get' command-line tool is also used fairly widely, though it's harder to resolve dependency conflicts and that tool doesn't track automatically-installed packages. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
