It will download any packages you need, along with all their dependencies. The days of hunting for huge dependency trees of RPMs are over. Do an "apt-cache search " to figure what the package name is called, and then do "apt-get install " to install it. A lot of the configuration is automated through dialogs, so almost everything should be pretty easy. Let me know if you need any help. --=20 -- Skylar Thompson (skylar@cs.earlham.edu) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ --5vNYLRcllDrimb99 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA/J49sc4yyULgN4YRAqWJAJ46rCbsjwzHUzM8oiC6TkWH0d2e7wCeOmKC kAN19mRaFRpGY7KQCp0o5uo= =yBvW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5vNYLRcllDrimb99--
