from the dpgk(8) manpage, ll. 119-123: ACTIONS dpkg -i | --install package_file... Install the package. If --recursive or -R option is specified, package_file must refer to a directory instead.
shouldn't this be either dpgk -i package_file.deb OR dpgk --install package_file.deb ? as i'm understanding it (which may not be too well), the command dpkg -i is piped to --install package_file, to which bash rightly responds: bash: --install: command not found (i have successfully installed my package, i'm just wondering about this seeming discrepancy.) </nori> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/daily.html
