I'm using Linux version 2.0.33XXX and I'm browsing around ftp.debian.org
looking for the kernel-source and maybe kernel-package. I am also looking
for dpkg-perl and dpkg-ftp because I noticed that my ftp option in dselect
dissapered mysteriously. I'm hoping that getting these packages will bring
back the ftp opotion as I find it much easier to use.
Can somebody point me in the right direction/directory in ftp.debian.org
and I'm I right about the packages I need to get back my ftp option under
dselect?

Thanks,

Ken.
