Based on what I learned and what I was told (and reading the offline procedure) you need apt-get to figure out which dependencies you need. The rather involved procedure outlined on the wiki explains it. If you say I only need the *one* package and "dpkg -i" then life is good. Based on what I'm learning it would seem to not be that easy. (ie., RTAI depencies for 2.2.7) BTW, I finally managed to get it updated with a friends help who showed me how to setup temporary NAT/IP Masquerading. > > Feel free to improve the the wiki on this subject so that others will > have better access to this information. When I finally get a clue, I'll be sure to do that. ;) Robert W. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
