installing slink and dselect question
So, I installed slink on my machine, and got to the dselect phase. I
read the docs and ran dselect, and got to the Install phase, whereupon
it took about 20 hours to download all the selected packages, which
seems about right. I got back to the machine, and it was back to the
dselect main menu, with "Quit dselect" highlighted. So I did. And none
of the packages were installed. Thinking I did something wrong, I ran
dselect again, this time going into the Select phase for some time and
removing large packages that I didn't want and adding packages that I
did want, and then on to the Install phase, and it went just like
before, with nothing installed. I found the directory where it
downloaded all the package files, they all seem to be there. What did I
do wrong? I had no problems or error messages from dselect, except for
a hand full of non-essential packages that failed to download because,
over 20-odd hours, some resets and timeouts will occur. No big deal
there.
Can I install the packages that were downloaded using some other tool
now? Has this happened to anyone else?
