Hi. As anyone who has followed any of my posts knows, I'm totally green. At this point I have debian installed. (from floppy) I now have access to my cdrom. What I would like to do is install the x-window manager, as well as some other things like joe. (some kind of text editor) I also want to install the manual pages. Anyway, I go into dselect and mark the things I want to install, I take care of the conflicts (that is I generally press enter and let dselect figure it out) I go out of that screen and install the packages that I marked. The message comes back:
Iso9660 extensions: Microsoft Joliet level 3 Unable to load NLS Charset iso8859-1(nls_iso8859_1) Get currently installed package versions got 71 installed/pending packages scanning available packages cannot open var/lib/dpkg/methods/multicd/available: no such file or directory Does anyone know what this means? How can I get some things installed? Thanks for your assistance, Jeff
