Yes, that's all you need. That is, if <package-name> doesn't depend on any uninstalled packages. If it does, you'll need to also type dpkg -i <other-needed-package.deb> Notice, also, that dpkg -i needs a filename as second argument, not a package name. Oh, and I also always keep my fingers crossed while dpkg does it's job, although this isn't really neccecary, and often results in typing errors. -- joost witteveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Use Debian/GNU Linux! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
