Re: help with dselect
I'm on a PC so things might be different:
Debian 2.1 r 2 dselect will try to mount my cdrom on
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt. The install process creates
this.
The path my dselect defaults to is
/debian/dists/stable.
All of this is default. I'm not sure why you
aren't getting these defaults...
