Installation
Synaptic is installed by default in Debian Etch if you choose the desktop task.
First, you must install it:
Open a root console window (Applications -> System Tools-> Root Terminal in GNOME)
- Type:
aptitude install synaptic
Configuring Repository
1. Open Synaptic (Applications -> System Tools-> Synaptic Package Manager in GNOME) 2. Click the Settings Menu, and choose Repositories. 3. Configure!
By default, Debian uses only main section for each repositories. If needed, you can add contrib and non-free section. Note that Security update supports only the main section.
Browsing, Installing, Removing
First - open Synaptic (Applications -> System Tools-> Synaptic Package Manager in GNOME)
Synaptic shows you all the packages available to you - and marks each one as installed or not installed. You can now navigate and find packages, marking packages you want to install (or remove) by clicking the tick box (or by clicking with the right mouse button on a package), and then click "Apply" to make changes.
