How would I specify Konsole to download a program but not automatically install it? Just save it somewhere as a .deb file. Also, what command would I use to tell Konsole to update a particular program? Thanks.

Re: Some command line questions
To download but not install a .deb file (you don't need to be root):
To update a particular program:Code:aptitude download whatever
If you want, you can checkout aptitude's other features by running this from Konsole:Code:sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install program-name
Also, if you would like to read the manual, you would enter this:Code:aptitude --help
You can usually run both of those for any command line application.Code:man aptitude

Re: Some command line questions
I downloaded a .deb program using "aptitude download whatever", but don't know where it was downloaded to. Can you specify a place before hand using Konsole?Comment

Re: Some command line questions
It downloads the .deb to whichever directory you're in at the time; it's probably in your /home/[username]/ directory.Asus G1S-X3:
