install from floppy



I have downloaded debian from Debian.1.1.8 directory and installed 
the base system. I got so far as to run the dselect program and 
stoped there as i had not downloaded more files.

Now the problem is that I dont understand how dselect works. I 
thought that it should indicate what i have installed but when i choose
Selcet it shows a * sign before things I dont have on my system. 

I have downloaded some *.deb files but how do I install them ? I 
obviously dont understand the help dpkg gives me. Have anyone done a 
step by step example to install a *.deb file  ??

Pio 1 is to make a slip/ppp conection to my provider so i can install 
more over ftp. Any tips is greatly appriciated.
