This is cheating but Debian has a web repository at <a href="http://packages.debian.org">http://packages.debian.org</a> where you can download packages for different architectures and search, etc.&nbsp; Find out what packages Pd-extended depends on, download the ppc .deb files from the debian server, pop them on a flash drive and drop them on your net-less ppc at home and then install them first with
<br><br>sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb<br><br>Then install the pd-extended deb package using the same command.<br><br>That&#39;s what I would do - but it&#39;s not very elegant and maybe someone has a better idea.<br>Kevin<br>

Hi!<br><br>Maybe this is more of an ubuntu package question than a Pd question, but...<br><br>I&#39;ve got an old iMac running xubuntu at home, except that home has no<br>internet connection. When I tried installing the pd-extended package
<br>it went and tried to download the depends, which of course it<br>couldn&#39;t, because it has no internet connection.<br><br>Is there a complete meta-package of Pd-extended and all the depends<br>that I could just plop onto this machine? Is it possible to make one
<br>(I don&#39;t have access to another PPC-ubuntu machine with a net<br>connection to do this, it would have to be either an intel-ubuntu or<br>OS X machine doing the work).<br><br>Thanks!<br>D<br><br>--<br>__ _&nbsp;&nbsp;_&nbsp;&nbsp;_&nbsp;&nbsp;__ _
