a stormix question

[shmike]

I am using stormix, and iam wanting to know
how to install a .deb file from my
/home dir?please help

[fuzzy]

Okay, how about going into that directory
cd /home/yourname or wherever the package is located...

then, at the command line
dpkg -i packagename.deb

That should do it.
What else do you need to know?

Also, for further adventures into installing packages on your computer, use...

man dpkg
man apt-get
man dselect

Also, have you messed around with the Storm Package Manager? I don't use it myself... I like the command line a lot more,especially for installing stuff.

By the way, you should always install stuff as root. Seems to work better that way. Less hassles (usually).

It might help you to get a book on Debian/GNU linux (since that's what Storm is based on). There are many available. Even on online.
Good luck!
