Maybe I am missing the obvious, but would someone please tell me where to find instructions on installing packages?
I see dpkg and dselect mentioned, but when I use these commands, I feel that I am lost.... I do not have a distribution cd, nor do I want to purchase another set of disks that wil be outdated in a year.... I have downloaded some packages, do I keep them in a directory system similar to what is on the ftp server, or do I put them all in one directory? When I start dselect, it asks me where certain things are , and I actually have very little idea what they are referring to.. Does the file packages need to be on my system? Where? .gz or ascii? I would like to use the dpkg-ftp, but I *think* that I need to install/configure the modem first... I don't need each question awnsered individually if there are instructions (other than install.html) on this matter. thank you, I am sure there are others with these questions.. mike cotherman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
