Re: still can't get hamm installed ...
Thanks for the help everyone. I found the lost file after a while.
I frequently got an error about a missing file name argument to "-e in
line 12" from dselect when trying to install.
It was a bit of an odyssey, but its more or less installed now.
Is it my imagination, or is hamm huge? Just going through the selection
process was exhausting. I really thing admins , or people new to Debain
should be coached to do it in stages.
