Help with Infomagic distribution

[rslittle <rslittle@ionline.net>]

Hi folks:

I'm struggling with the Summer 1999 box of disks.  Here's the content of
a post to -user:

I'm using the Summer 1999 Infomagic distribution cd's and chose multicd
access method.

After going through the initial setup and logging in as root I couldn't
find any X11R6 related files anywhere, just empty directories.  I tried
again using dselect.
Here's what I get after selecting:

Get currently installed package versions......
Cannot open /var/lib/dpkg/methods/multicd/available: No such file or
directory

Installation script returned error exit status 1

Hit return to continue

Help!

Is there anyone out there familiar with this dist'n and/or willing to
help out? I'm trying to revive a bonepile of older machines for one
project and for another I am trying to cobble together some OCR,
scanning and speech capabilities to give a blind person with no computer
literacy the ability to read snail mail and reply to both hard output
and email.  Ambitious, I know, but necessary.
