Agreed -- unless a .deb has been specifically packaged for Mandrake (I've never heard of any) you don't want to use it. Likewise, you want to use rpms packaged for the specific version of Mandrake you are using. (There's a chance others would work, but I'd only try that as a last resort.) > Is there any way to download these packages so I can burn them to a CD > and bring them home to my audio machine? Or maybe repackage them from > the installed copy? Yes. Not sure why when you click on the download link the package is being installed -- are you doing the download within one of the rpm managers (urpmi or similar)? Don't do it there, simply start the download from, for example, your browser or an FTP program. If you need "dependencies" download those the same way. (You can even do this on Windows, burn the CD, then take the CD to a Mandrake machine for installation.) Randy Kramer
