Other Help Topics :: installing .debs

I want to install gmailfs on my DSL machine. I got the .deb off of the debian website but how do i install it?

If you've got dsl-dpkg.dsl and probably gnu-utils.dsl
loaded, *and any depends the package may need*,
then you can cd to where you left the
package, and dpkg -i <packagename>.deb
which will hopefully install your new package.
Check the manpage for dpkg for other uses of the
command, like listing depends, status, etc.

dang the dependancies arn't installing... somebody needs to make a .dsl for gmailfs...
