Hello, thank you to all who helped me.
As everybody finally succeeded teaching me, the first install of anything with packages you need to get off the net, should be done by adding the relevant line to sources.list, and then use dselect to update and install. I got KDE 2.1.1 installed almost successfully this way. Making an installation CD out of what you got off the net is an entirely different problem. Thanks to everybody: David Morgan David Dayan-Rosenman Theodore B. Ruegsegger Marc SCHAEFER Best regards Johnny :o)
