why not just download  a LiveCD an  use synaptic from there? if i can do it sure others can

Any experience with working with parents, etc about computer repairs will show that Nile is right.

I'd say about 75% of PC users are newb and think like that.

I have the edgy install disk, and I'm currently using Hardy (Synaptic? pfft front end... apt-get dist-upgrade as whoever said ftw) . :D
