Using apt

[Paul Riemerman]

I'm trying to find out how to install the apt package in Knoppix 3.4 so I can install packages. I've installed Knoppix to my hard drive. I've downloaded the apt package and placed it at root.

Apt is already installed!

Try this:

as yourself, connect to the Internet.

Pop open an Xterm or a Konsole and su to root

then do:

apt-get update

(make a cup of tea)

then

apt-get install synaptic

(synaptic is a relatively user-friendly GUI front end to most of the features of apt-get)

There's lots more about apt get here:
