installing wvdial package in ubuntu 9.04



At first I downloaded the following packages (from a pc connected to the internet, any O.S.):

1. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libxplc0.3.13/download
2. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libwvstreams4.4-base/download
3. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libwvstreams4.4-extras/download
4. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libuniconf4.4/download
5. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/wvdial/download


Note that above are all for an i386 pc.

I copied all to a USB memory stick, and then paste them to the ubuntu 9.04 running pc into /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory using sudo nautilus from terminal. Then I installed all packages by double clicking each icon (of .deb package) in above order (1,2,3,4 and finally 5). I ignored all informative messages. Finally I had to run wvdialconf, edit the /etc/wvdial.conf file and be connected with sudo wvdial.

You can get my wvdial_904_i386 zip file (size=1.04 MBytes) containing all above.
Into .zip file there is a .txt with checksums. Please CHECK all files and do it at your own risk.
