Heracles, Would you be so kind as to outline the procedure for using synaptic to install the .deb package which I downloaded from the Google Earth web site? I use synaptic all the time, but always with packages which are in the Debian repositories. I searched and saw that some people are installing using "dpkg -i"; but does that take care of dependencies? I plan to run GE on a i386 laptop, so the package which I downloaded is the 32-bit: google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb Thanks. Russ
