If you are comfortable manually ftping packages and installing them
manually with dpkg -i then you can probably get away with this:
get the following packages and install them in the order given:
libc5
ldso
libc6
ncurses3.0
ncurses3.4
libreadline
libreadlineg
bash
libg++
dpkg
dpkg-dev
dpkg-ftp
libgdbm1
libgdbmg1
And I think that should do it.
Then you should be able to run dselect to grab the rest. I think there is
a script for it, I have always done it manually.
