Hi, I have installed 5 1.4MB base floppies without any problem. Then I have browsed the dselect to familiarize myself with it, and quit it and went to bad happy.
This was three nights ago. Since then I am trying to continue from where I left to connect to a mirror site and finish up my installation. I have two formidable blocks: * Although the base install was promised to contain "networking" I cannot see the "pppd", "chat" etc in there. * I cannot start dselect. I cannot even find an executable called "dselect" (or "dpkg" for that matter) neither in the environment booted off the floppy, nor in the hard-disk system that I installed. Yet I am sure they must be there, as I have been dropped into "dselect" once. Since I don't have the latter, I cannot install the former. And since I don't have the former, I cannot download and experiment with various pieces fast enough to get out of this bind. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
