How do you install a .deb file?

[jacatone]

Doesn't just clicking on a .deb file open up Kpackage and install? Got a "This archive is read-only. If you want to save it under a new name, go to the File menu and select Save As.' message. How do I install? Thanks.

Right-click on it -> Kubuntu Package Menu -> Install Package

or type in konsole

sudo dpkg -i package name

i however preffer to use gdebi, which you will find in the repos.
(good news is that it is default now in gutsy)
