SB16 PnP CD-ROM

["JARDINE, Jeff" <JWJARDIN@mccain.ca>]

Hi,
	It appears that getting these SB PnP CD-ROMs has been 
difficult for several newbies, including myself.  I finally got mine working

by installing from a DOS partition.  I duplicated the directory structure 
of the first Debian CD on my DOS partition, included the *.deb files in 
some of the more important-sounding subdirectories (base, utils), 
and pointed dselect to my hard drive.  Once I got enough installed 
to enable "gcc," I used the module written by Jeff Epler (thanks!), found
at:

My CD-ROM works like a charm now, and I can get dselect to 
install from CD.  It wasn't exactly elegent, but I was getting desparate.
