Installing a single package using dselect.

[Chris Russell <chris.russell@program4u.com>]

Is there any way to add a single package using dselect without updating
the Packages file. All I want to do is add the man-db and netstd
packages to the base system.....
Seems like the deselect is overkill and  dpkg is underkill.
?Why wouldnt these packages be part of the base????
==The reason I want this===
I'm trying to get the Beta 2 installed via the net with a twist. I have
a laptop running win95 that I can use to dial out and it is connected to
my 5port hub which the debian box is also attached to. I do not have a
modem for the linux box.  With a ftp daemon on the debian box I could
use the pc as a go between until I get a modem for the beast. (Yea I
know I could get a ftpd for win95 but I wold rather go the other way.)
