Can't find XF86Setup, and other dselect questions..

[Gregory Guthrie <guthrie@mum.edu>]

I have an old (pre-2.x) system, upgraded to 2.0, then 2.1, 2.1R4.

1) I wanted to move into X GUI, and have a lot of X11 stuff under 
/usr/X11R6/...
but do not have XF86Setup.

I ran dselect from my 2.1 disk (Essential Debian), and from both of my 
2.1R4 disks, but found no X11 stuff on any of them.

I tried to point dselect to www.debian/org via FTP, but it wanted to 
download 70+ MB, so I declined.
I had assumed it would only download a few upgrades, and/or give me a 
selection option of packages before such a big download.

Seems like this should be easy, what am I missing?

2) If I put in various CDroms, does dselect remember what programs are 
available on each, or do I need to roll all of them through each time I 
want to find something?

3) I see that Debian 2.1 is not Linux 2.2, but is 2.0.30; I want to get 
proper parport printer/Zip sharing, which seems to be in Kernel 2.2, what 
is the easiest way to get this.

4) On initial boot, we got a nice dselect'ish menu, "what type of install 
to do, .." with a default set of packages. Is there a dselect option for this?

Thanks.
