Hi All!
I've finally got my basic Debian 1.1 system installed (many thanks to those
who gave me some hints when I got stuck) and was trying to install X Windows
on it.
Downloaded the xbase-3.deb file and got it onto my system. When I ran the
dpkg program I got the response that I needed both

I think I found the cpp package but haven't been able to locate the
elf-x11r6lib package. Can anyone clue me on on where it might be found
exactly? I've already taken a look around the Debian.org site but didn't
find it.
The Package is called xlib. Why dont you simply use dselect with
Is installation possible over a modem via an ISP?
Yes! I've done it. Basically, all you need are the five installation disks

It is possible to install the individual packages you want
from non-free by hand with dpkg: dpkg -i some_package.deb.
Then, you can run dselect to take care of dependency problems
and configuration problems if any exist.
