[conspire] Installing Netzero.deb

Sun Dec 4 18:59:25 PST 2005

Like I said before, first you should "dpkg -c netzero.deb" to look at what
it will install. If what it will install doesn't conflict with anything
already installed, go ahead and "sudo dpkg -i netzero.deb" then. If
anything goes wrong, you'll want to "sudo dpkg --purge netzero" to prevent
an inconsistent package database.

It opens in Ark if you click it and then you get 3 seperate  files, control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz. and debian binary.Should you right click it and move or copy it to somewhere in the root file system?Or can you just open and run it with the shell or as root from a terminal.Thanks for any advice.<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
