Install rootsh from the repository.

Then open X-Terminal. Close the application manager if running.

Check for new updates:

Code:

rootsh apt-get update

Search for a package:

Code:

rootsh apt-cache search SEARCHTERM

e.g.

Code:

rootsh apt-cache search leafpad

This will list the matching packages.

Install one or more packages:

Code:

rootsh apt-get install PACKAGE1 PACKAGE2 ...

e.g.

Code:

rootsh apt-get install leafpad gpodder mediabox

Uninstall packages:

Code:

rootsh apt-get remove leafpad gpodder mediabox

Uninstall things no longer required by any package (the application manager does this automatically, but with apt-get you need to do it manually):

Code:

rootsh  apt-get autoremove

From time to time you can clear the cache of downloaded packages to free more space on the internal flash:

Code:

rootsh apt-get clean
