>No, you should enter /cdrom/Debian-1.1.8, not indices. Sounds logical, but dselect still didn't work.
The screen output is something like this: |--------------------------------------------------------------------- | Insert the CD-ROM and enter the block device name [] __/dev/sonycd__ | ISO9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A | | All directory names should be entered relative to the root of the CD-ROM. | | I would like to know where on the CD-ROM the top level of the Debian | distribution is - this will usually contain the Packages-Master file. | | . | . [more text] | . | | Distribution top level? [none] __/cdrom/Debian-1.1.8__ | /cdrom/Debian-1.1.8/stable/binary-i386 does not exist | | . | . [repeat of above] | . |--------------------------------------------------------------------- My input has the underlines around it. By the way, I also tried mounting the CD-ROM drive first, before loading dselect. How do I convince dselect I don't need the non-existant 'stable' directory on my CD-ROM?
