The focus of this doc is gathering:
 
-
How-To's, Workarounds for issues, Mods/Tweaks, Killer Apps, & maybe more main

sections?
 
-
We need more readers to become editors, so the main sections can have sub-sections created.
 
-
And so that new and outdated content, can be added and removed more regularly.

-
To determine if a package is installed:
 
-
 
-
dpkg -l <package name>  OR
 
-
dpkg -l | grep <package name> (the "-l" is a small L)
 
-
 
-
Installed indicates with a "ii" and un-installed with "un" in-front of the package.
 
-
 
-
If output is empty then it doesn't exist in the repo, & needs to be installed via browser.
 
-
 
-
To see packages a package depends on (dependencies):
 
-
 
-
apt-cache showpkg <package name>
 
-
 
-
Installing a package...
 
-
 
-
pkgmgr install -V -p <package name>
 
-
free -m
