Dang.that first one was supposed to come from me.  Sorry about that.

-----

I'm new at debian, and new a using apt-get.

So, I'm wanting to install something like php for my little webserver.
I've been reading up on the APT-HOWTO on debian.org.  I did:

apt-get update
apt-cache search php

Woa.so there are so many choices.  Not knowing what to pick, I choose
php4.  so I run:

apt-get install php4

Here is the output:

jack:~# apt-get install php4

It's asking for a cd.  What am I doing wrong there?


PART2..


So.trying other things.I want to wget a file from another server.
Discovering that I'm missing wget, I do the same process as above and
end up trying:

apt-get install wget

Works like a charm.  Connects to debian.uchicago.edu, installs.all is
well.  I'm wget'n with the best of them.

What's the difference?


PART LAST...


So now.a general question about apt-get.  When you think "Hey.I want to
install mysql server. (or whatever)"  Do you usually look for
mysql-server in apt-cache search first?  I mean.is that the first place
you guys go?  Or is there some in-the-know command / webpage that you
look at first.

I'm loving Debian by the way.  Cool stuff.

Thanks in advance.
