General Support - installing saved old packages nish - 17.07.2006, 04:24 Uhr Titel: installing saved old packages
I had a major hardware failure today. Long story short... I am back up and running on another machine and I want to install an application that is no longer available. I have the deb and all the depencies debs on the spare drive and have copied them over to a folder on new machine. How to install?
Do I need to make this some sort of local repository or is there another way?

try going into the folder where you put in the deb and using
#deb -i <packagename>.deb
i'm not sure about the dependencies, though

as root,
# dpkg -i <packagename>.deb
I like to use the mc, midnight commander, to locate the file.
Press enter on the deb, and then install.

yep, the command should be dpkg instead of deb. man i really need some sleep... Richard - 17.07.2006, 18:38 Uhr Titel: RE: Re: RE: installing saved old packages
I've heard that sleep is not a substitute for caffeine.
