Greetings, I have been trying most of the morning to obtain the KDE distribution from ftp.linuxberg.com and have thus far been unsuccessful. I am using apt in dselect and cannot seem to find the right combination of strings to enter so that it can find the package file.
When prompted, I am providing a path to the package file ending in a /. (i.e. /pub/KDE/stable/distribution/deb/slink/.), which contains a packages.gz file and all the appropriate .deb files. However, dselect continues to prompt for the "components to get", providing "main contrib non-free" as examples, but there is no such directory structure. How then do I force apt to look at the Packages.gz file and download the appropriate .deb files knowing where on an ftp site these files reside? (It seems to me that apt is assuming a very specific underlying directory structure and I cannot figure out how to circumvent this assumption). Best Regards, Steve
