Thanks much. Having a rough time here. I've only used apt-get with the CDs (which are the only entries in my /etc/apt/sources.list)

I get the feeling that your Debian CDs do not contain all the packages you need. So you need some way to get the additional packages, and downloading them one-by-one could be annoying.

If you're using Debian stable (woody), then I suggest you add some Debian mirrors to /etc/apt/sources.list. These lines should work:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free

If you leave the cdrom-related lines in sources.list, Apt will choose files from the CD when possible, or grab them from the ftp mirrors otherwise.

You need to run "apt-get update" after adding these lines, in order to update the list of packages from the mirrors. Then you can hopefully run the "apt-get install <whatever>" commands that you have been trying.

That was very cool, Paul. I took the safe route and just mved my current sources.list to sources.list~ and then created a new one with the above entries and followed your directions (while connected to the internet). But, I jumped into attempting to compile 0.8.0 after reading Kelson's reply and just installing the glib-dev files then got these warnings from config: configure: WARNING: *** No libz found. Disabling PNG images *** configure: WARNING: *** No libjpeg found. Disabling jpeg images.*** So I guess I better delete the sources dir and start over again... Thanks a lot. I appreciate your patience here. I'm one of these weirdos that doesn't like to fondle plastic rodents :-) and wonder how difficult it would be to have an option that would number all the links on a page and allow one to enter that number instead of clicking on the link. I use w3m a lot for my-1st stage surfing, and it allows me to Tab down to a link and then hit Return, but that's pretty clumsy. (When I encounter a site needing a closer look, I bring up Dillo, although this would be easier, come to think of it, if I just used Dillo and disabled image downloading at first. That IS possible??)
