          chandeno:

          first check your repo allowance level.
          goto: System>Administration>synaptic package manager

          enter your pass
          then click on settings>repositories
          check EVERYTHING under EVERY MENU except dont select download from cd if you dont want to, server is better to me.

          then once everything is checked, goto update manager and click check. It should install now on its own….. and you should get ccsm.
