I created a backup CD using this APTonCD program and restored all my .deb files to my /var/apt/cache file but can't seem to figure out how to reinstall everything. The APTonCD online manual says "you can install them using apt-get, aptitude or synaptic without need to download them." When I try using apt-get I keep getting "command not found" when I use dpkg -i. How would I go about do this? Thanks.

U have to be root to use apt-get.

sudo apt-get .......

What was the exact command you used? You'd want something like
cd /var/cache/apt/archives

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I guess I forgot the wild card. Seems to be working. Thanks.
