AppBrowser Local option: how best to use?

[rhodius]

Hey y'all, until such time as I actually get TC online (Rich is graciously helping with that), I'm curious if I'm going about installing applications in the correct manner through the Local option of the App Browser.

I anchored a /tce/optional on my sda3 ext2 partition, tried to install nano.tcz, from there but got dependency problems. I noticed that .dep files could be opened as text, so i looked in and downloaded the dependencies associated with the package, and then their dependcies. It worked, but is that the way a body is supposed to go about it?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi rhodius
Normally, with AppBrowser connect to the Internet, it will download the extension and all of the
required dependencies for you. You just did manually what AppBrowser normally does automatically.

Thanks for not pointing out that I asked a dumb question

Hi rhodius
But you were smart enough to figure out how to deal with the dependencies.
