The sources are in /var/cache/apt/archives You can backup these rpms to cd/dvd and put them back into this folder on subsequent reinstalls, it saves a hell of a lot of downloads.

When I install APT and synaptic the first thing I do is open a terminal as root and type in 'apt-get update' without the quotes. This downloades and fills the apt sources database. You should see it downloading all the data from the repositories listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. It has been suggested to me to remove the 'base' repository from the sources list. Then when you run synaptic you should see all the files. You can then run update from synaptic.

I'll remove it. I haven't yet used synaptic... I updated the listing as you suggested and am now doing a d/l & install to see if it works as a well-oiled machine should.

No won't be downloaded again. Apt will discover them in the directory and use those. You can't use apt-cdrom to add the dvd as the dvd does not provide apt's metadatabase (similar tot the ones in /var/state/apt/lists) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

-- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless Guess that could be considered the 'Achilles Heel' but if apt says there are non-installable deps I will first look to the DVD. I rather figured there might be a compatibility issue.
I got apt working, though, after a fashion. It d/l 19 files but wouldn't install any of them. It said, 'No signatures' or something similar.
