It need to have spaces enter the following code and where it says filename substitute that for the name of your file that you want to install. That is if the file you have is in your Documents folder. This is the default folder that shows up when you click on N900 icon in file manager then the documents folder. If it is in just the main folder (MyDocs) ie the first one that shows up when you click on N900 in file manager then just use /MyDocs/filename.deb.

Code:

dpkg -i /MyDocs/.documents/filename.deb

Code:

dpkg -i /MyDocs/.documents/filename.deb

That's not going to work (you've got an extra / at the start) - you need:
Code:

dpkg -i MyDocs/.documents/filename.deb

Code:

dpkg -i /MyDocs/.documents/filename.deb

if you put a / at the front (as first character), the path is absolute, i.e. relative to the root directory. but the full path would be /home/user/MyDocs/.documents

when you start xterm, and type "sudo gainroot", your current path is /home/user. to specify paths relative to the current directory it must not start with / :

Code:

dpkg -i MyDocs/.documents/filename.deb

no, it won't. that's like unpacking a .zip with a linux program under windows. you can unpack it, but not do anything with it.
