I'm fairly new at using debian and I don't yet know how to install packages any other way than using dselect. I'm trying to install the newest kde, and have browsed to the appropriate deb distribution on ftp.kde.org, but the directory doesn't contain a package file. Is there a simple way to install these files without a package file? i.e. using dpkg w/ apt? I'm not even totally sure I know what that means, but I've heard others talk about doing this.
Could someone illustrate for me how to install these .deb files easily without using dselect? I'm running slink and know how to modify my sources.list file for use with apt. I'm just not sure what to do after that. Brian Morgan
