Update no > problems (reload with wad of DVD's), not sure how to load Trinity IMHO, it should be sufficient to just copy the whole /var/cache/apt directory from an up-to-date machine with trinity installed to one without internet connection. then just do apt-get install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity there. will of course only work with same debian version on target machine (same sources.list configuration also recommended) and complete /var/cache/apt/archives directory (including .deb packages for dependencies). werner
