Apt cant install deb files which arent from your apt sources or atleast not that i know of. To install stray deb files, use the "dpkg" tool.
The reason i wanted EM86 is to run things like netscape for x86 so that i could view flash and all the other cool not-alpha-friendly stuff. Unless you guys know how to get the flash plugin to work on the Alpha, which would also be useful to know.

However - what URL were you using? I noticed one of them was dead. I was able to download the
software earlier this week. Try the following URL: netscape <ftp://ftp.support.compaq.com/private/alkpha-tools-software/netscape>
You'll need Alien, and, IMHO, I'd convert to a .deb and install in one pass. I still can't figure out
how to tell apt to install from an arbitrary .deb.
Also, why bother with EM86? Most of the "interesting" apps on that platform require NT.
