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. Mike ----- End forwarded message -----
