I have downloaded debian from Debian.1.1.8 directory and installed the base system. I got so far as to run the dselect program and stoped there as i had not downloaded more files.
Now the problem is that I dont understand how dselect works. I thought that it should indicate what i have installed but when i choose Selcet it shows a * sign before things I dont have on my system. I have downloaded some *.deb files but how do I install them ? I obviously dont understand the help dpkg gives me. Have anyone done a step by step example to install a *.deb file ?? Pio 1 is to make a slip/ppp conection to my provider so i can install more over ftp. Any tips is greatly appriciated.
