What you want is: # apt-get -d install packagename This will only download the package and store it in /var/cache/apt/archives as a .deb file Now you can install it from this directory: # cd /var/cache/apt/archives # dpkg -i packagename.deb jc -- Jeff Coppock Nortel Networks Systems Engineer http://nortelnetworks.com Major Accts.
