Those CDs again



Seeing that we have to have two CDs, the packages have now been split so
that the first disc is now built with all the dependency checks enabled. 
The second disc has what is left over.  The exception is alpha.gnu which
goes on CD1 without checking. 

The initial dselect run worked nicely with the first CD.  There were four
problem packages which is pdg.  No aditional packages were selected at
for this run.

util-linux (alpha.gnu)  looks broken
groff (sid)		looks broken
tetex-bin (sid)		looks broken
man-db (sid?) depends on groff.  dpkg --force-depends fixed it.

apt is a little too delicate to handle the Hurd at this stage, dselect
grinds on regardless and produces more useful information.

Killed the process /dev/hd2 (needed -n 9), shooded the translator away.
Still locked.  I am probably doing something wrong.
