Installation issues / Installation error from .deb file

« on: May 01, 2009, 09:49:15 pm »

Hello,
I have installed Kubuntu 7.10 and all is well with that

I have downloaded the CD .iso files and when I mount the .iso and try to install the .deb file for the first CD, I get this error, and I can't seem to fix it. Any suggestions?

mce/mnt$ sudo smart install -y mce-installer_2.0.1-1_i386.deb mce
