my issue with installing software from the command-line is mostly trying
to install X, when it is meant for Squeeze & I only have Lenny.. the
requirements make it impossible to install. Or you get X & the
./configure says you need Y installed first. trying to install Y it says
you need A1 installed.... 2 hours later, installing STUFF, I forget what
it was I originally wanted to install!
