Hi,
I've installed Debian 3.0 and X windows into my PC which does not have Internet access.
I've downloaded xfce_3.8.16-2_i386.deb from the web via another machine and burned the file to CDROM.
Can i install xfce from the CDROM in my Debian box?
What are the step by step commands to do this?

# dpkg -i /pathTo/NameofPackage.deb
In your case, it would be like this:
# mount /cdrom
# dpkg -i /cdrom/xfce_3.8.16-2_i386.deb
You did not say if you are using a xlogin manager. . .
Once you have it installed, you can set it up in you gdm menu by creating a symbolic link in:
/etc/gdm/sessions
to /usr/bin/xfce
I have a question for you.
Why are you not installing xfce from you Debian cds?
