[Debian]: dselect: I can't get it going
Hi all,
I just bought Debian 1.3.1 + KDE on CD from JFL, Berlin. I installed a
small kernel on the 2nd partition of my HDD. So far, OK.
But, when I try launching, from root, _dselect_, no packages get charged:
it asks me for the top directory to start with on debian CD, and I enter
/debian or
/debian/bo or
/debian/bo/binary etc.
in vain: the program insists on looking for '../stable/binary-i386' which
does not exist in the CD directory tree.
I explored the CD in Win95, with PCtools, Xtree, etc., and frankly don't
know where to begin from, so as to install the 1100+ programs it contains.
Any suggestions, in English or German?
TIA
