Installing Limewire Help
 
Hi all

So I downloaded Limewire RPM, but using Knoppix. I know I have to convert it to .deb with alien so I typed:

alien --to-deb [filename]

that went fine.

So how do I install the resulting .deb file?

All I know is dpkg but I dont know how the switches work.

Thanks all

HOng

Ps Wierd, serperate problem that may be related, I downloaded the .zip version of LW as well, installed it using 'sh runLime.sh' as the Readme says. Installs fine, configured, etc. To start it, I can just go into the terminal and type 'limewire' but its just goes as if its the first time I am running it, asks for language settings, etc. It wont save them. Repeats after I close it, etc...
