Copy the .tgz package to ``/'' directory, "telinit 1" and: tar -vzxpf pkgtools-*.tgz sh /install/doinstall.sh I would run: "upgarepkg --reinstall pkgtools-*.tgz" after that. Just to be sure. (You can remove the /install directory afterwards, of cource.) > I delete it! When you play with root, you risk killing tree ... -- -Menno. |

To the op, just untar it into your / directory, run the shell script in /install, then delete /install, as someone else has explained. |

But after checking the source I can see your right, kpackage does use installpkg and removepgk. -- Thomas O. This area is designed to become quite warm during normal operation. |
