dselect issues..

[Gregory Guthrie <guthrie@mum.edu>]

1) I think I have the most up to date stable (slink) system, I have used 
apt-get to do an update/upgrade, and everything seems OK.

2) when I use dselect, I do not get the multi-cd option; but I have a 
release on multiple cd's (2.1R4).

3) when I use the cd2 from this set, all works fine, but   if I try to use 
cd1, it complains about the path, and no Packages file found, although it 
is there, and in the right place (same as CD#2).

4) I tried to do apt-get install xfree86 to get the most up to date 
version, but it did nothing. Is there a way to use apt-get to know what 
needs upgrade, and to get the latest without 80-100MB downloads?

Thanks,
Gregory
