dselect: I can't get it going
Hi all, I just bought Debian 1.3.1 + KDE on CD from JFL, Berlin. I installed a small kernel on the 2nd partition of my HDD. So far, OK. But, when I try launching, from root, _dselect_, no packages get charged: it asks me for the top directory to start with on debian CD, and I enter /debian or /debian/bo or /debian/bo/binary etc. in vain: the program insists on looking for '../stable/binary-i386' which does not exist in the CD directory tree. I explored the CD in Win95, with PCtools, Xtree, etc., and frankly don't know where to begin from, so as to install the 1100+ programs it contains. Any suggestions, in English or German?

Re: Windows internals
At 18:41 23-12-97 +1100, you wrote: If you thought Unix's handling of the date, being seconds since Jan 1, 1970, in a 32 bit value, was weird, I quote your from the Win32 API help: The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. Still, by my calculations, that should last us until the year 60095.

[Debian] Winnt NTFS + Debian
Dear all, I am going to install Window$ NT 4.0, on a partition formatted NTFS, and the latest Debian version. This is my system - BIOS: American Megatrends BIOS Category: IBM PC/AT BIOS Date: 4 Apr 1993 Bus Type: VESA Processor: i486DX 66MHz Video Adapter: VGA Cirrus Video BIOS Version: GD5422/5424/5426/5428 VGA BIOS Version 1.30 RAM:32MB Cache Memory: 256KB Hard Disks (#2):2.5GB EIDE and 0.25GB EIDE CD Drive: Sony 2x - I would like to have a 2GB partition, formatted NTFS, on my first and largest harddisk; the rest of this harddisk and all the 2nd are at Debian's disposal. Now, how am I to format a partition or my 2nd harddisk in order to have Winnt(NTFS) and Debian live happily together? What multiboot utility do you suggest that I should use? A multiboot residing inside Window$, inside Debian, or a third-party one? Perhaps I should be more patient and wait for Debian 2? -- I thank you all in advance and wish you a prosperous New year (altough I guess it's going to be less prosperous than Bill Gate$'s...). (Please reply in English, German or French, as you like it).
