Multimedia :: e-mc (enhanced media center)

Hi, I`m new here, and now I`ve got my first question...

I installed dsl on my harddrive and now i want to install the e-mc software, but i`m completely new in linux, so can anyone give me a howto, for installing software may with synaptic or apt.... I downloaded an *_i386.deb file and what must i do with it?

thanks for any answer

Thomas

1) Choose Enable APT from the menu. Wait for it to finish.
2) Open a terminal window and type:

sudo su
dpkg -i name_of_file.deb

Thank you very much for your answer.... I`ll try this
