First, mount the cd Then add the line: deb file:/cdrom/debian stable main (assuming you have the cd mounted under /cdrom and it is the stable/main cd) Anyway, add the line to /etc/apt/sources.list, and comment out all others. Third, you can use dselect's apt method as usual, or use apt-get from the command line. > > > -- > Anthony Campbell - running Linux Debian 2.0 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.achc.demon.co.uk > > > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > -- Jim Foltz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
