Re: working with debian cd

["Paras pradhan" <pradhanparas@gmail.com>]

Hi:

Sorry for the typo. it's tasksel deb and not udeb.


yes after using pkgsel udeb i can see "select and install software" in
the debian installer main menu. But when i run it, nothing happens and
exits to the debian installer main menu and cannot see the tasksel
menu.


What might go wrong? I am using the etch current installer.


Thanks
Paras.
