Score!

After quite a bit of fiddling around, I have managed to get my laptop onto the network :) And renamed to tinyjo :) Now I just have to figure out how to install logjam. Where does one put the files once they're downloaded? And then what? I need Linux for Dummies really but I've got the internet, which I guess comes to the same thing.

If only I didn't have a horrible suspicion that my network settings were going to disappear on reboot...

Downloading the Debian package is often easiest. You can search for LogJam here, remembering that you're version is 'testing'. After downloading the file (to wherever, it doesn't really matter though you'll find I've put all your Debian packages in /root/debs/) you issue a command to install it:

# dpkg -i logjam_4.1.2-4_i386.deb

That unpacks the documentation and any executables into the appropriate locations. Sometimes a package may depend on something that isn't currently installed. That's when the APT HOWTO comes in handy, which you'll find listed among a bunch of other useful stuff.

HTH!

I just stopped by because we got a postcard from tinyjo, but I also happen to be the author of LogJam so I can kill two birds with one stone!

On a Debian system, "apt-get install logjam" should be all you need. I think I've used "dpkg -i" about 20 times in my life, and I've been using Debian for years and years now...

And thanks for the postcard. Lemme know if you have any problems with LogJam, or would like any features added. It's not a great program, but I do the best I can when I have the time...

Thanks! Glad you got the postcard OK :) I've got LogJam up and running and so far, I like it. If I come up with any feature requests I'll wander over to logjam and ask.
