version 2.2r6, generated a matching MD5 sum
binary-sparc-1.iso
source: mirrors identified at linuxiso.org
I learned how to add ftp/http sites to the apt-get/dselect part of the system
load. I choose the "simple" method of choosing packages. I choose 4 or 5
packages and I don't recall what they were (a bit sloppy, but, this is not my
final install; I'm still in the "learning to install" phase of my Debian
career). I was still not able to telnet in.
I logged in as root to the new system and did a dselect using file/ftp/http
as my source, and looked around for telnetd or some package of remote access
tools. I didn't find anything named telnet under the "net" sections in
dselect. I choose wu-ftd because I wanted an ftp server too. During the
Install phase of dselect I noticed that telnetd is being pulled in. Tests
proved I could telnet in. I did "find /mnt/cdrom -iname "*telnet*" and found
telnetd and telnet .deb files on CD1 (binary-sparc-1.iso).
So everything turned out fine. But why?
1. Is there a "simple" method choice that would have installed telnetd?
2. It seems that simply running dselect and not making any modifications to
the default selections will bring in telnetd. If that is so, which selection
is it?
3. It appears that the most efficient way for me to get the packages I want
requires that I install using the "simple" method and follow up with a
manually invoked dselect. Is there a way to run both simple and advanced
during the install phase? I'll have to experiment on my next install.
