Hi!

Ahh, I see, the multi-CD problem. There are some workarounds: a) ignore the CONTRIB CD for now. b) see a), but use dselect only with main and add contrib/non-US/non-free packages manually. (HINT: dpkg --info foo.deb showes you the dependencies, dpkg --install foo.deb installs it.) c) get a second CD-drive and mount both CDs d) copy ony CDs to harddisk e) copy the Packages.gz files and one .deb for each section (contrib/ non-free/ non-US) to eg /debian/CONTRIB (same path as on the CD) and when dselect wants to install packages from this CD mount the CONTRIB cd as /debian/CONTRIB. This is kind of advanced - and untested ... Contact me to make me work out more details. Maybe some other guys on this list have easier ideas.
