vlc install

Mon Jun 15 22:24:15 UTC 2009

When installing packages manually you want to use the following:

dpkg -install packagename.deb

Check dpkg for proper format.
(on iPod touch at soccer field)

Dpkg will tell you the package dependencies and let you know what  
additional packages you need
