Hi and thanks for your help,

internet connection, my internet is 56k modem dialup through aol/compuserve

d/l anything of any real size that way, you know like over a meg or two.

No. Nowadays, you should really use APT. (and, as far as i can remember,
dselect's cdrom method does not maintain a cache of what's on your CDs)
mw: do you have internet connection on the machine you want to install
the packages to? if yes: no need to download them to CD first - use
'apt-get install' instead.
cheers, Stefan.

Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you
will hear the voice of Satan?
That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
