I don't understand what he did exactly.. I just got linux last night and am still trying to learn everything, this post seemed to be closest to what I am trying to do. I'm using knoppix installed to harddrive, which they say is close to debian, I'm using version 3.3 of it. I tried installing amule_1.2.1-1_i386.deb. After receiving the same sort of message that he received, I installed libwxbase2.4_2.4.2.4_i386.deb and still receive the error:
(Reading database ... 113506 files and directories currently installed.)

I can't figure out what he did, if someone could help out a little, I would be your best friend forever.

I have an AMD Duron 1.3, 640 ram, and a gigabyte motherboard...can't remember what kind though..
