Well, all that apt-get really does is automate the download and install process by calling 'dpkg' > "dpkg -i foo.deb" > > I assume that "foo" is the name of the deb package.

Correct. if you have foo.deb, then dpkg -i foo.deb if you have baz.deb, then dpkg -i baz.deb I'm not 100% sure that its always safe, but most of the time, it just does the update you want. The documentation (man dpkg) says it does the update. As always, when changing software, its good to have backups. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
