I know this should be very simple and easy to find, but I'm having trouble answering these two questions. I've been through the apt-get man page a few times. Since I'm trying to do something on a "one-time-only" basis, this shouldn't be a config problem -- I'd expect it to be available as a command line switch.
1) How can I specify the source site to use to retreive a specific package? (In this case, I added download.kde.org with all the info to point to the KDE 3.1 packages, but apt doesn't seem to see anything above KDE 2.2, even after apt-get update). 2) How can I install a .deb file that I've downloaded with my browser? (I downloaded a game that was a .deb file into my home directory. I searched the /var dir tree and found .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives, so I copied the file in there, but "apt-cache search" doesn't show any awareness of the downloaded package.) And, if the answer or info I'm looking for isn't in the apt-get man page, where would it be? Thanks! Hal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
