+ Installing software using Apt
+#ifdef OUTPUTtext
+ =============================
#endif
+
+
+ After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can
+ use CDs, DVDs, local collections, or networked servers (FTP,
+ HTTP) to automatically install software from (.deb
+ packages). This is done preferably with the ‘apt’ and
+ ‘aptitude’ programs.
+
+ You can install packages from the commandline using
+ apt-get. For example, if you want to install the
+ packages ‘commprog’ and ‘maxgame’, you can give the
+ command:
+
+
+#if OUTPUTtext
+
+#endif
+ apt-get install commprog maxgame
+
+
+ Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the
+ ‘.deb’ extension. ‘Apt’ will figure this out
+ itself.
+
+ Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of
+ available Debian packages.

-Welcome to the exciting world of
-
-
-
-Debian GNU/Linux!
-

-
-
-
-
-This is one disc in a set containing the the
-Debian GNU/Linux
-distribution. Debian is a
-very extensive collection of software. But it is more. It is a complete
-Operating System (OS) for your computer. And it is
-free
-(as in "freedom").
-
-An operating system is the set of basic programs
-and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating
-system is the kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the
-computer, which does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other
-programs.
-Debian is kernel independent. It currently uses the
-Linux kernel but work is
-in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, using
-the Hurd.
-Most of the basic operating system tools
-come from the GNU project; hence the name
-GNU/Linux.
-
-
-Debian is available for various kinds of computers
-("architectures"), like
-"IBM-compatible" PCs (i386),
-Compaq's Alpha,
-Sun's Sparc,
-Motorola/IBM's PowerPC, and (Strong)ARM processors.
