You have to do: Setup - asks user for various pieces of info and only checks to see if the distributions you asked for are there. Update - this downloads the package files and uses dpkg to update the available package lists Select - (nothing to do with dpkg-ftp) Install - should then download any new packages and install them Which option failed to work and which version are you using?
