I encountered two issues. First, I installed Cisco Packet Tracer on my Linux Mint desktop without agreeing to the EULA, but each time I try again it fails with an error, even after restarting and re-downloading. The problem seems to stem from leftover files from the initial installation. Second, I attempted to install it on my Arch Linux laptop by converting a Debian package to Arch format and using pacman. It now demands downloading massive amounts of data—about six gigabytes, even though it worked fine on Mint. With only an 166 GB SSD, I’m worried about wasting space. Could you suggest a better way to install the Debian package on Arch Linux? Thanks for any advice!

The extra information acts as dependencies. They can be removed once installation is complete.
