Dual Boot with Win2k (NEW QUESTION)

["GQ Kokidko" <gqkokidko@hotmail.com>]

I too am a new user and have installed linux on hdb1 and windows 2000 on 
hda1.  I can boot to linux and windows and have lilo configured properly but 
dselect and tasksel aren't able to find the packages (which are on hda1 in 
order to install them.  Tasksel cant see them at all (is there a config file 
or something I can point it too) and dselect can see them to tell me whats 
available.  After I go through the million and a half debian packages and 
choose what I want to install, when I go to install it looks at a different 
location and fails to install.  Thanks for any help
