Hi all.

I installed Debian from a pendrive, everything fine.  Now I want to  
install
some packages from there, but the system only accepts CDs for that.  If  
I start
the Debian Installer, it wants to format the partition, what I don't  
want.


Thanks for any help,

Rodolfo




First the standard way:
Make sure you have a line like this in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.debian.net/debian stable main non-free contrib

run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install 

If the program isn't found online, but is on your pendrive
you can install a package with:

sudo dpkg -i 

If there are missing dependencies you can fix them (if you are online) with

sudo apt-get -f install

success,

floris
