Big Trev

I’ve added the repo’s for webmin in the past, but this time I’m following the instructions on the website.

http://www.webmin.com/deb.html

Firstly, get onto the console (I use SSH).

cd /home/trevor

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.470_all.deb (or whatever the current download is)

dpkg –install webmin_1.470_all.deb (again, whatever the one is you downloaded).

The webmin website mentions that it may whinge about dependencies, but mine didn’t.

dpkg –install webmin_1.470_all.deb

Found this little gem:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/saving-list-of-installed-programs-357683/

This is to output a listing of the installed packages on an Ubuntu install, if you want to set up another machine with the same apps.

Use dpkg –get-selections > selections.txt to get the list of packages then once newly installed dpkg –set-selections < selections.txt to set the selections back in the database now use dselect update to get both apts and the dpkg/dselect databases in sync to install use apt-get dselect-upgrade.

Haven’t tried it (yet), but putting it up here for when I need it!
