I was told that dselect has problems with hamm being distributed on more than one cd rom. Ian Jackson suggested that we should take a look at dpkg-mountable. This means that a) dpkg-mountable might need to be included in the boot floppies and b) we'll need at least one another set of boot floppies - or someone invents a different method for this. This is based on the idea that only packages up to a certain priority are included on the first cdrom and lower priorities are distributed through the second one. dark: Could you run your script that checks each priority for completeness? (don't depend/... on packages of lower priority) Regards, Joey -- / Martin Schulze * joey@infodrom.north.de * 26129 Oldenburg / / http://home.pages.de/~joey/ / VFS: no free i-nodes, contact Linus -- finlandia, Feb '94 /
