Packages

[boombastic]

Hi!Is there a way to take some packages from the Knoppix liveCD to use them into another distribution already installed onto my Hard Disk?

[CrashedAgain]

It could be done uding dpkg to rebuild an installed package into a .deb package then using apt-get (from the other system) to nstall the package.
But it would be far easier just to apt-get install the package onto the HD system in the normal manner from on line.

You can do a


for i in $(COLUMNS=240 dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}')
do
echo dpkg-repack --root=/KNOPPIX "$i"
done

to create packages from a running KNOPPIX CD to a writable harddisk
partition, and install/update these packages with dpkg -i.

Much easier to do it the normal way.
