Try pressing 'o' (I think) it'll scroll between different ways of listing packages. Or you might not actually have the package lists available (try running dselect's 'update' function). You could always try using apt-get directly, too. > 2) What do I read to figure out how to set up the ethernet card (I have > a basic 3 CD binary set) and networking.

Then edit /etc/network/interfaces and add a stanza for your network card. Examples should be in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples. There is a Debian network configurator, but I can't remember what it is (never used it). > 3) Assuming 2 is successful, can someone send me the australian apt-get > sources (stable). deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian-non-us stable/non-US main contrib \ non-free Give that a shot. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
