wget (or other web retrieval application) and dpkg. Assuming your on an x86 system the apt package you want is: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.5.4_i386.deb It has the following dependancies that you may need to manually retrieve: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.3-7), libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 Once you have the files, use "dpkg -i $filename" to install them. -- Jamin W.
