OK, so, I need either a .deb file, or a .bin or something similar, that I can download (without the use of apt-get or similar), and install Amarok, because my linux-enabled computer cannot access the internet. so, I run a windows laptop, simultaneously, and then just transfer via a usb device or cd. So, does anyone know where I could download this? I have heard many, many great things about this software, and, although I understand that some of it's functionality comes from internet access, I would still like to see what all the hubbub is about, and Download and install it. .bin files are preferable, as I have had trouble installing .deb files, but either is acceptable. Any and all help is appreciated
Many Thanks, Cody Haines |

why can't you download the source, copy it to usb drive, load it into the Linux machine and compile?

if the original poster is having trouble with .debs, I don't think source is likely to be the answer.

You can get deb files from http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
Choose the debian branch you prefer (stable 1.4.4-4 - testing 1.4.8-1 - unstable 1.4.8-2) and choose to KDE. (for testing http://packages.debian.org/testing/kde/) Amarok is on the top of the list. From there you can download deb files and also check for dependencies. If you are using KDE already I think (I don't know for sure) that you 'll just need the amarok and amarok-engine packages... Hope it helps! -You can also download a dvd image of Debian (amarok is on DVD1), add it as a cdrom repository and use apt-get or synaptic!

if you have trouble with the dependancies, try installing the "deb" with gdebi vice dpkg.
