Can anyone tell me how I can get PEAR sorted?
1) open a terminal 2) enter this command: su - 3) enter root's password when asked 4) enter this command: apt-get install php-pear
I'd suggest (as does the debian team) to use aptitude over apt-get. That way you can see (and easily search) the packages that are available to you through the apt sources you have set up. Also, you have the ability to visually see the dependencies for packages as well. When you go to install (g), you are presented with the list of packages you have selected along with all of the auto-selected ones so that you can further modify what is to be installed and/or removed.
