Please be specific about what packages I should download from where. I
am now looking at
https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa/+packages
In the section labeled "Package Files" I see about 40 files, some of
which are .deb files.
I'm guessing that all of the i386.deb plus the all.deb files is the
answer. Will go with that in the absence of confirmation. Is there a
way to download these files as a group?
(FWIW - I thought that the idea of a package was to contain all that
would be needed to make the install.)
Thank you.
