Re: dselect mystification (fwd)
That's what I ended up doing but I'm not sure what or why I forced something to happenI've run the install part of dselect about 3-4 times now and keep getting some sort of install error on the kbd package. I guess I'll keep running install till I'm bored with it! I wonder if it would have been smoother to start with the fresh 2.0 install disks?

Ooops!, I already did Q then install.I wonder if I could start over with the 2.0 install disks I made...I don't really have any data on this system to save.

Re: dselect mystification (fwd)
Oh Yeah, I'm now left with a few packages that don't want to installbeen thru the install section of dselect several times with them: kbd_0.95-4.deb sysvinit_2.73-2.deb gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb libc6-dev_2.0.7pre1-4.deb should I go back to the top of dselect and do ftp again. Also can I save all these .deb files somewhere and use them for setting up the other two debian boxes I'm building. Where should I put these .deb packages on the new machines and how do I point dselect at themand what about the packages filehow do I handle it in this scenario?
