A large number of the apps listed at http://maemo.org/downloads have a greyed out button labelled "missing install". The link to these apps' homepages eventually takes you to the downloads, including a .deb, but I'm not an apt-get expert: how do I make it install from a .deb that I've already downloaded, without using a repository? The apt-get man page is silent on this. For very large apps, eg MaemoTeX, I will want to ensure that it goes onto my external SD card (rather than wherever it thinks it ought to go), and then soft-link the binaries to /usr/local/bin. Is there a way to override the default install paths, or will I need to unzip the .deb and do it manually? ///Peter
