No, you never need to reinstall Debian, even disconnected: you can use apt-offline. I never used it since I always had internet connectivity when installing systems. Look here: http://apt-offline.alioth.debian.org/ I think it is well documented, but I can quickly depict its principle: - on Debian, get information about installed packages, - copy the result to a removable media, such as an usb stick, - on any other place/system (windows 7 for you), install apt-offline - then ask apt-offline to get the packages you need (the two I mentionned in my previous e-mail), it will fetch them for you and their dependencies as well, - copy the packages to your removable media, - go back to your Debian system, insert the key and install the packages. Or: - buy an ethernet cord! Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
