Lowe Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 apt-get install packagenamehere you might need to run apt-get update first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Do you mean MyDSL packages or any Debian .DEB package? Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Ok I have a new problem. How in the world do I install DSL packages? lol <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haven't you ever used a Debian based distro before? apt is the way, but I don't think this is a suitable thread to explain how apt works...

I will try using that and post what my results are in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYinYeti Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 As for real DSL packages from MyDSL, downloading them using the GUI MyDSL is enough, because after the download is completed, it seems that DSL automatically installs the downloaded package (the .tar.gz remains there for you to delete or keep, though). I did not find how to uninstall a MyDSL package. However, I managed this with this method: cd / tar tzf tmp/icewm-xyz.tar.gz <list of files: I check that these are ONLY files, not directories, else I pipe some grep -v after the tar command to remove the directories from the list.> tar tzf tmp/icewm-xyz.tar.gz ! xargs /bin/rm -f All this has to be done as root. The ! is a pipe character, but I cannot get this character right now... so... And don't forget to add some grep -v if needed so that the list output from the tar command is filtered and thereafter contains only files, not directories. Yves.
