KDE 4 Live CD won't update/no apt-get?

[audionut]

Hello! Installed the KDE4 Live Kubuntu 7.10 remaster CD....
It looks like there is no way to install/uninstall packages...
When I try to run the package manager, (so I can install firefox, vlc, etc) I get a message that says "Smart needs to be installed for the package manager to work"....
How can I install Smart if I can't install packages? I assume there is a command line way to do this from the terminal but I don't know the command...!
Thanks!

just hazarding a guess - open a console and do a

sudo apt-get install smart

It is actually: smartpm-core

sudo apt-get install smartpm-core

but I would suggest installing synaptic anyway just as a stable package manager:

sudo apt-get install synaptic

.
Adept is IMHO not very "adept" at the moment.

Please advise what is the command for installing smartrpm-core.
I have the same problem that audionut has and cannot get to add-remove programmes or system settings.

My problem is that apt-get does not work... I get the message "SMART must be installed before this will work"...

So how do you install an installer program

Thanks !!

Do I install Smartpm-core first and then synaptic or just synaptic ?

Re: KDE 4 Live CD won't update/no apt-get?

Just synaptic. smartpm is needed for kde4 version of adept for some reason

I just (with live CD KDE4):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install synaptic

sudo apt-get install kdesudo

alt+ f2: kdesudo synaptic
opening all repositories (backports)

and so on...
