Hi, Thanks to a suggestion i have managed to sucessfully install some deb files from a mounted vfat\msdos partition! Hurrah!
There were still some err messages when installing man-db, but they we only about not finding some language files, everything works fine! the command i used to mount the vfat/msdos partition is mount -t vfat -o binary,rw /dev/hda5 /dos-d Thanks to all who helped! All i need now is some guidence on what files to get next!, i am leaving x-win until the cd arrives, but if anybody has any farorite packages that will be good for a newbie, just some general thinks to help get to grips with linux, fun stuff etc! anyhow, thanks again.
