To install a .deb file you downloaded yourself, use the dpkg program: dpkg -i [.deb file] Note that when doing this dpkg will not invoke apt-get to automatically resolve its dependencies. (apt-get is a warpper around dpkg, not the other way around.) If you want some additional sources.list lines to install programs not in the main Debian archives, check http://www.apt-get.org/ -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
