Install already downloaded packages with 'dpkg' command. Code: sudo dpkg -i <package_name> most of packages are available in sources. i would suggest you to install packages through apt-get or Synaptic only. open Synaptic, type package_name in Search box and install it. or Code: sudo apt-get install <package_name> check this Tutorial : How to Install Softwares in Linux? __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First Last edited by devils casper; 06-30-2007 at 10:22 AM..
