Yeah! Silly them they put it in the readme files :-)
Windoze never uses them do they?
But, then again, if you don't have xawtv you may not have readme files.

Amazing!
And I thought all the "Official" Debian 2.1 disks had the same packages on them. Just
out of curiosity, what brand of CD are you using? Maybe someone with the same brand
can give you a definitive answer.
Since you don't have it on the CD, easiest way now would be to download the "deb"
from debian.org and then run 'dkpg -i filename.deb'. If you don't have that computer
on the web yet, check the deb size maybe it'll fit on a floppy.
Lots of Luck
