You probably have to mount your dos partition before dselect can read
from it. Mounting is sort of like drive letters in DOS/Windows, except
the partition is accessed through a specific directory instead of a
drive letter.
It sounds as though you've got the base system installed, that's good.
At the prompt type (as user root):
# cd /mnt
# mkdir dos
# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 dos
If this is successful, the directory /mnt/dos will now be the same as
c:\ in dos. Now run dselect again and type in the location as:
/mnt/dos/user/frog/Linux/Debian/dists/slink

Lets get the installation bit done first, and we can come back to this
later.
