newbie can't install packages from floppy
What is the proper procedure for installing packages from a floppy? I
downloaded them via my NT box (hiss, hiss) at work, but can't seem to read
them (dpkg -info, or dpkg --install) when I mount the floppy as type vfat.
What additionally puzzles me is that after I get the package I want from the
web site, I get a list of ftp sites to get it from, but never get an option
for the architecture involved. Don't these packages contain binaries?
TIA,
Darryl
