[Icon-tech] Installer Command in the Konsole

[John Esak]

Hi,
Let me just comment without knowing too much about this... so that is my way
of take this with a grain of salt.  Anyway, I put up a ubuntu system a few
weeks ago to give me a platform for compiling things for the Icon, and I
have been using the sudo apt-get command set pretty freely.  It is far more
sophisticated than I ever would have guessed.  I have often seen it do
things like completely de-install a previous program set so that it will not
collide with the new program set you are trying to install. Fro example if
you were to ask for the xinetd stuff with sudo apt-get install, it happily
goes out and gets it but ont the way completely de-installs the inetd
facility since only one of these can be in place at any one time.  

So, my caveat is yes, use the spt-get function to grab anything you want but
what if the thing you want causes something the Icon software from Levelstar
to stop working?  In other words what if it is relying on and configuring
something you are going to unwhittingly remove? I would be very careful
about this.  That's all, just a simple "uninformed" warning.  All this
pre-supposes you 8do* get the analog "sudo aptget" for the Konsole.  I don't
know it, sorry.
