I know I could just go to Redhat and grab that and install it but this is a labour of love. I see the power of apt and dselect I just don't know how to harness it. Maybe I'm just supposed to grab single debs off the net, I don't know.
if you have a set of CDs, use apt-cdrom, list the
CDs in your sources.list and install a set of packages
which you want. then update them using ftp
after that, comment out the lines in sources.list,
type apt-setup and create a sources.list with
download sites. run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.
