Hi Stan, > Problem is now when I go inot dselect and take choice 1, I am not > offered the choice of installing from the CD's. Which choices *are* you offered. I get cdrom as the first option. Another candidate would be apt, if it's there. Try putting the CDs in (no need to mount them) and issuing 'apt-cdrom add'. This should put them into your aprt sources.list. Then select 'apt' as access metod from dselect. HTH, Manuel
