Mahmood, I think you mean: $ sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb dpkg is an installation tool for Packages.deb , i.e. packages with Debian installer format. hsf* abbreviates hsfmodem-VersionInfo.deb for purposes of the installation. More generally in any Linux/Unix usage, * abbreivates the rest of a Name, al least upto the next "."
