Hi,
I have just installed debian 3.1, and have all the 14 cds. however, i
do not know which one the GUI is on, and how to load the cds from the
text interface for that matter. Can you help me please?
It's been a while since I've used it, but I believe you want the
apt-cdrom package. It adds cds to your sources.list so that you
can install packages from the cds much like you would from a web
archive.
There are several good ways of building your system from the cds,
but since you're using a text interface, the older dselect method
of installing your packages will probably work the easiest.
Once you've loaded all the cds into your sources.list using the
command "apt-cdrom add" as root, then use "dselect" with apt as
the access method and start selecting the packages you want.
As I've said it's been a while since I used this method, so by
all means read the man pages for "apt-cdrom" and "dselect" before
you start.
Good Luck.
John
