I am in the process of installing Debian 2.1 for the first time. I have gone through the process where my machine now boots into Linux from the floppy and I can flounder around enough to see that I have heaps of directories and files and am playing around with commands, learning as i go.
I wonder if I have actually got the right files there to continue on? I want to get the man-db, I presume that is on the cdrom somewhere. I can get to the cdrom directory but it wont ls anything. Using apt-get install man-db, I get the following: E:Can't open /var/cashe/apt/scrpkgcace.bin -open (no such file or directory). I'm not surprised as i know i need to edit the sources.list ... but i have no idea what to add to it to tell it to go to the cdrom? Help on this and any general tips appreciated, especially the documentation on the web that might help, I have heaps but remain stuck on this step, as I don't seem to have the exact doc I need.
