Wait, these .DEB files are very small. They don't appear to contain any files; just information about which files need to be downloaded. That presents a problem for me. The machine I am running Linux on does not have Internet. I am downloading the files manually on another machine and putting them on USB drives. I'm assuming Linux does not have an equivilant of the windows registry? Or at least I'm not familiar with one. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
