Use the 'pkgrecv' utility. The IPS package system does not have anything comparable to .deb files, where an entire package is contained in a single file, instead each file which makes up the package is downloaded individually from the repository server. The 'pkgrecv' utility does however allow you to download all files which makes up a package, and then install that by using a file:///... publisher. -- Venlig hilsen / Kind regards Jeppe Toustrup (aka.
