[GRASSLIST:35] Re: GRASS and APT-GET

[Sandro Klippel]

I have a debian package of the grass 5.0.1

Add the lines:

deb http://www.talha-mar.com.br/linux/debian ./
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib

in the sources.list file

and

# apt-get update
# apt-get install grass

Sandro.
