Read the howto at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ, Nope no use.
I have been trying to install unstable with dselect, rather than stable. In hopes that I might be able to avoid some of the libc5 to libc6 upgrade headaches. Used wget to mirror debian/hamm, debian/bo, debian/contrib, debian/non-free "only binary-all,binary-i386". Access: OK, required link ln -s debian/hamm/hamm debian/hamm/stable Update: OK finds and extracts /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/debian/hamm/stable/binary-i386/Packages.gz /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/debian/hamm/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/debian/hamm/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz Select: OK Install: FAILS!!! Can anyone tell me what these errors mean, and how to fix my installation procedure??? Tim. Help!!
