Kind of painless install but all details are not worked out.

ERRORS in CONFIGURE DEVICE DRIVERS:
	0: no such user
	Symbol for parameter io not found (3C509)
ERROR in bootup
	lspci not found

	development packages in BASIC: libncurses4-dev, g++, libstdc++-dev
? in BASIC preselection
	dpkg-mountab installed but removed by BASIC, sounds strange

	 dpkg -iGREOB /..../non-US (i.e. after it has finished with non-free)

TESTING TARGET:
	task: minimal install of slink with disks-2.1.4

PREPARATION:

	download of slink and hamm from ftp.lh.umu.se 1998-12-31 ~1200 MET
	to /dev/sda10:/debian/{hamm,slink}
	moved non-US to the above hamm,slink directories for ease of use
	 when doing the access part in dselect
	downloaded 2.1.4: resc144, drv144 and base2_1.tgz.2.1.4-i386

	ln -s base2_1.tgz.2.1.4-i386 base2_1.tgz	so install finds it
	dd if={resc,drv} of=/dev/fd0 obs=18k		make floppies

	reboot
