HI:
I had to reinstall Kanotix all over again. I have downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives. Now how do I install these downloaded packages from this directory? I have beagle, Gnome, etc in this archive. If I try installing using dpkg -i I get dependency problems like this package depended on other packages being installed. I dont want to redownload all of these packages again using apt-get update and apt-get install. Is there a easier way to install GNOME from this /var/cache/apt/archive.
Thanks,
AJ

You can copy the debs to new install and just use the normal apt-get command. Only newer updates will be fetched from net, still current ones will be used.
