___CLEAN HAMM/UNSTABLE INSTALL___
This is how I did it:
1. Start with the stable base disks and install the base
Debian Linux system per the standard method (ie; follow
the prompts on screen.) See the Debian Installation Guide.
---Begin installing hamm release---
The following .deb packages are all found in the unstable
hamm section. The latest packages may have release numbers
higher than those shown, but should also work.
2. Using dpkg, _NOT_ dselect, install ldso_1.9.6-2.deb , ie;
dpkg -i ldso_1.9.6-2.deb
3. Using dpkg with the FORCE (-B) option install libc6_2.0.6-2.deb
dpkg -i -B libc6_2.0.6-2.deb
^
(The force option is necessary because libc6 conflicts
with the libc5 in the stable package on your system!)
4. Using dpkg install libc5_5.4.38-0.1.deb
dpkg -i libc5_5.4.38-0.1.deb
__________________________________________________________
NOTE that the hamm release uses new boot scripts
so if you have modified the files in /etc/init.d
don't just blindly copy your old config files to
your new installation!!!
__________________________________________________________
5. Reboot. If everything went as expected you should get
a clean boot.
6. Using dpkg install ncurses3.0_1.9.9e-2.deb
(use same dpkg -i command sequence as in examples above)
7. Using dpkg install ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-7.deb
8. Using dpkg install libreadline2_2.1-7.deb
9. Using dpkg install libreadlineg2_2.1-7.deb
10. Using dpkg install bash_2.01-5.deb
11. Using dpkg install libg++272_2.7.2.8-0.1.deb
12. Using dpkg install dpkg_1.4.0.19.deb
13. Using dpkg install comerr2g_1.10-9.deb
14. Using dpkg install e2fslibsg_1.10-9.deb
15. Using dpkg install dpkg-ftp_1.4.9.deb
---if installing XWindows ---
16. Using dpkg install Xlib6_3.3.1-2.deb
Xlib6 MUST BE INSTALLED FIRST!
17. Using dpkg install Xbase_3.3.1-2.deb
18. Using dpkg install Xfntbase_3.3.1-2.deb
19. Using dpkg install Xserver-whatever.server.you.use...
20. You should now be able to use dselect safely to
install the rest of the hamm packages you want. You
may need to rerun the "4. [C]onfig" selection
several times in order to get everything fed
in in the right order and all the dependencies
resolved.
Hope this helps. If there are any errors in my method
here please correct them!

Jess Stryker
