Hi Joshua,

Thanks for your input. Pardon my ignorance but I guess I need to place 
or extract the downloaded contents somewhere in the root directory after 
down load. When I ran the command it first had a message (which I don't 
remeber) but meaning it could not locate the files or something.

Then I opted the right-click and open with package installer. It did 
initiate until it reached 95% then stalled.

Now that I try the command again it says it's locked [dpkg: error: dpkg 
status database is locked by another process]

Any idea to get around this?

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Bernard
