automaiclly connecting and package manager

[natman]

Hi, I have Dapper 6.06 and things are working. Dapper detects my wireless network after i go into the wireless assistant, is there any way to get it to detect and connect to the wireless network from the boot up?
Also how do i access the package manager ( like synaptic/kynaptic ) and enable the user repositories?

Thanks:

Re: automaiclly connecting and package manager

Synaptic is not installed by default. Find Adept; it should be in your System submenu. Use Adept to install Synaptic. To enable repositories, go to the Settings, Repositories of your Synaptic menu. Enable the Universe and Multiverse repositories by adding them to the Sections line in the Repository list, then ticking the checkbox. Click Reload, and after a few seconds, if you look at your status bar and see 18,885 packages or some such available, you're good to go.

You may be able to install Synaptic from the commandline. Open a konsole, and issue the command:

sudo apt-get install synaptic
