The Debian web-site tutorial mentioned using Midnight Commander (mc), so I thought I would try it out. I do not have it on my system (version 2.1), so I ran dselect to install it.
I found it in the list and it had a couple of dependancies (gpm and libgpmg1). I accepted those to be installed also. The first time I tried to install, I had forgotten to mount my CD. I mounted my CD and re-ran dselect and removed the 3 packages. I then selected mc and the dependancies for install again. None of the 3 packages installed. I get the following errors. (This is my first attempt at dselect, so please give me as much detail as you can). I did my original Basic install from this CD, so I know it is working. If it makes a difference, this is the CD that came with the O'Reilly book.
