Okay :) On the other hand, installing Windows software usually only needs a double click on Setup.exe... Alex -- Alex Schuster [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key available [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Question on installing packages and upgrading

Hi! I am using Debian stable for some weeks now, but there still are so many things I don't really understand, for example the installation of debian packages. I know how to use dselect, and I can also use dpkg. But how do I, for example, install a newer version of windowmaker or netscape?

Re: netscape: cannot perform malloc

My Debian Blues

st don't know what's wrong with my system. Maybe I messed things up while playing with dselect, so I might try to reinstall Debian, using only the necessary packages, not everything. Thanks for reading, Alex -- Alex Schuster [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key availa
