Dear Even,

Did you use ubuntugis before? I have one question, I followed the
instruction to add ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa to my repository.

Then I use sudo apt-get update to install the packages. Yet can I install
only one package (let's say gdal)?

I do a little search online and some people say I can use directly
sudo apt-get install gdal

but it reports E: Unable to locate package gdal, I cannot find the package
in my Ubuntu software center either...

thanks,

Chao
