Using dselect with 1.44 floppies
Hi, and sorry for a naff old question but I can't find anything in the
archives etc.
I have salvaged a rather old machine, and managed to get the basic
installation done and so on. However, I can't figure my way round
dependencies and installation of files > 1.44 Mb. Assuming that dselect
recognises some scheme for split debs, I can't figure it out.
I can split and cat the few big files manually and put them on the HDD, and
try dpkg - i on them but this gives dependency problems. Do I just force my
way through these and sort the dependencies out in dselect later, or is there
an old way of getting dselect to cope with split floppies?
Many thanks for any advice.
Paul
