Once you have the files you can use the dpkg command to install them. Be sure to read the dpkg man page. It has a lot of useful options. Simple Example: dpkg -i /mypkgs/simpl* Suppose that a package simpleton-2.3.x.deb was found and installed OK after executing this command. The database would be updated and the select screen of dselect would show it as installed. Re: NFS If you have nfs installed properly and permission to mount the remote filesytem: mount -t nfs foo:/public /mnt/debian would work if machine foo was exporting /public and you had created a directory /mnt/debian.
