HD Install :: Restoring dpkg without an internet connection
This is the first time I've used linux.
I'm trying to restore dpkg so I can compile stuff and whatnot, and I've copied the archive to /var/lib and then uncompressed and untared it, but...now what?
I've searched around on the forums; some posts say "copy dpkg to its directory"; what is dpkg? where is it?
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do at this point.The way to do this is to download the compressed dpkg file and move it to '/var/lib/', then uncompress it:

tar zxvf dpkg.tar.gz
That should get you fixed.Where can I get the file (dpkg.tar.gz) ?stupid awnser but search google.com, lol sorry.
