I think he said that he doesn't get a cdrom option with dselect - neither do I! This is what I did, for what its worth, which may not be a lot. As root 1. Rename /etc/apt/sources.list ( I went for /etc/apt/sources.listnet, so I canuse it later on the net...) 2. [EMAIL PROTECTED] touch /etc/apt/sources.list (creates a new,empty file) 3. [EMAIL PROTECTED] apt-cdrom This will prompt you to insert your cdroms into the drive. You need to scan all three. 4. While you are at the command line run "apt-get update" to update apt's database. 5. Then run dselect. You will need to run the "update" option before trying to select any files. There - that worked here. There is probably a more elegant way, but I'm a beginner too! When you want to start upgrading via the internet, change the names on your /etc/apt/sources files and remember to run "update" - apt is only as good as its database.
