AJ, I was just poking around the new release of 3.6, and encountered KNOPPIX -> Utilities -> "Install Software (while running from CD)". One of the menu choices is apt-get. Looks like Fabian left you an easter egg.
This is news to me. I don't recall seeing anything about this before.
I've been trying to update the WIKI a little, and came across this thread. As far as I can tell, not much has been put there about apt. Does anyone know of other resources that would be good to integrate?

Yet another dpkg/apt-get tutorial
-
I believe..
I believe from other help i have gotten from this forum that you need KNoppix to be installed on the harddrive to install any packages, or at least .deb pckages.

More Apt-Get Issues
Thanks for this tutorial.
I've been having my own apt-get issues. I recently installed Abiword, a very nice word processor. I can even create PDF files with it.
My problem is that now when ever I want to install quite a number of packages including:
KDE 3.4
Mplayer
just to name two,
I get an apt-get message saying that it will now remove the 7 Abiword packages that make up that installation in order to complete the installation of whatever it is I'm installing.
I can get around this by installing programs as Deb files. But it is getting frustrating.
I don't want to remove Abiword.
What to do? And why is this happening?

I need this for my Online Tax Forms, so my time is getting tight!!
