Debian Package Install under Sarge

[Jeff Goodwin]

Hi:   Can anyone point me in the right direction here.   I was accustomed to the debian Woody package installer wherein I mounted a proprietary CD with a  { ****.deb } file on it and then issuing the command: #dpkg   -i   /cdrom/****.deb And it did the trick.    I just upgraded to debian "Sarge" and tried the same thing and it failed.  Apparently, the new system wants me to use a combination of "apt" and "dselect" specifying parameters that I apparently don't fully understand.    Question:  given my proposed scenario above, what exact steps do I perform to get the installer to recognize the ".deb" file on my CD (not an official debian distro CD, but one from a proprietary application, debian compatible).?   Thank you,   Jeff Goodwin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
