Hello DSL friends,

I am trying to install k3g. I have never done an installtion in Linux. I have down loaded .deb package from the debian site.

Now in the command prompt, i type sudo su
then i type dpkg -i k3g_something.deb

now i get a list of files which are suppose to be installed.

So, 1. Do i have to down load each one of then and install or, can use apt command ?
2. If i want to share the error message, how can i transfer these to a file ? ( i cant find any copy - paste option )

I am using DSL v.2

Please help,
Thanks,
Sajith[B]

Do you mean k3b? I'm guessing you do...

k3b uses KDE libs, of which there are a metric -ton. Try:

`apt-get install k3b`

hit y when it asks and prepare to wait for awhile. It's gonna install everything and the kitchen sink.
