 I tried to connect and then choose ftp from the dselect access menu but
I couldn't get the pppd to connect right. as far as I can see everything
is exactly the same (Except lots of stuff that should be in /usr/bin and
/usr/sbin is in /bin and /sbin instead.. pppd and chat are in /usr/sbin
though)
 
 If you are using dselect, then you mean dpkg-ftp as opposed to dftp
 which is a self-contained program.
  

pppd and chat should be in /usr/sbin.  They are on my system.  It is
very unlikely a downloaded package that has been corrupted will not
then be rejected by dpkg-ftp. And for the corruption to just move a
few files around - even more improbable.

 Andy.

 pppd and chat are in /usr/sbin on my system as well. A downloaded 
package didn't move anything and the only corruption was from my 
filesystem overflowing.

 I moved /usr over to another disk and now I only have to use dselect 
with the ftp access mode to snag the files I want to install.

 It's sadly slow though on this 28.8 link, wish I had a CD-Rom :(
