Ok, I'll be as specific as I can...
I installed from 1.44M floppies the images from /stable/i386/May-20-1997/
Using "dselect" that came on the system, and whatever may have been
downloaded and installed in the 4 times I've run "dselect". I agree, it's
a strange error to be getting.
The first time I ran "dselect", I got stuck in a "conflict" loop, and
just quit. after that, I used "Q" to move on to the download and
install, and received the version conflict errors. Most things seem
to be working anyway, except for the life of me I can't get "man" to
work. No matter what I do in "dselect", "bash: man: command not found"
