In the directory where swat*.deb resides: dpkg -i swat*.deb If the configuration fails: dpkg --unpack swat*.deb then configure the package manually. Oki
Re: installing a single package
dpkg -i packagfile Or, perhaps more useful and simpler: apt-get install some-package ...which also gets it for you.

installing a single package
Hi, I've downloaded the swat-package file. But I don't know how to install it. I tried it with dselect, but it seems to that with dselect it's just possible to install packages which came with the distribution. Can anybody tell me what I have to do? have to do?
RE: installing a single package
As root: dpkg -i [path]packagename That's how I do it anyway.

Installing a single package using dselect.
Is there any way to add a single package using dselect without updating the Packages file. All I want to do is add the man-db and netstd packages to the base system. Seems like the deselect is overkill and dpkg is underkill. ?Why wouldnt these packages be part of the base ==The reason I want this=== I'm trying to get the Beta 2 installed via the net with a twist. I have a laptop running win95 that I can use to dial out and it is connected to my 5port hub which the debian box is also attached to. I do not have a modem for the linux box. With a ftp daemon on the debian box I could use the pc as a go between until I get a modem for the beast. (Yea I know I could get a ftpd for win95 but I wold rather go the other way.) -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Seems like the deselect is overkill and dpkg is underkill. ?Why wouldnt these packages be part of the base Taken together, these packages are about 1MB in size, so that's *another* floppy disk. Your wanting to use W95 as a go-between but as the client rather than the server is pretty unusual, so it doesn't seem worth everybody else adding a non-essential disk to the installation process. ==The reason I want this=== I'm trying to get the Beta 2 installed via the net with a twist.
