error messages installing .deb file

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

Hi!
I think Network Manager may have set itself up.
As far as I am aware no errors were reported and it seemed to say "set 
up" to various files or "setting up such and such" so I presume it has 
installed properly although I haven't checked yet since it has only just 
finished.
For some reason it wouldn't work with 3 files and Network Manager so I 
just coppied the whole lot into my home directory so I presume this has 
resolved the problem as it didn't say it couldn't find anything unless 
it has coppied files that it doesn't need for my system but keeping my 
fingers crossed I now have the icons for it.
