Thanks Alex, I did (dpkg -i /path/to/emc2_2.2.1_i386.deb) and only experienced minor headaches. I first clicked on the file after putting it in my home folder. Brought up the package installer which grumbled about conflicting with the already installed emc2 so I removed the emc2 and tried again. It still grumbled about conflicting with emc2 so I rebooted. Then I did a sudo dpkg -i /path/to/emc2_2.2.1_i386.deb. All went well and the new emc2 is installed without a hitch! This is on an extra linux machine which I try things out on before risking my working machine. I think I'm ready to try it on the real deal. I didn't find the *.deb packages on www.linuxcnc.org because there doesn't seem to be any indication they exist on the home page. Or I overlooked something... Now there is a bookmark on my browser for me to use. > Message: 5 > Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 10:23:31 -0600 > From: Jeff Epler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Is updating EMC@ impossible without internet? > To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" > <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > apt supports offline operation with the "--print-uris" option.

I could easily live without the games and maybe some of the other stuff not related to running a machine. I don't really need to listen to cd's while making parts. (The machine is too loud anyway!

Thanks everyone for the help. I have learned a lot and now know how to update with my trusty usb flash drive.
