I have tried three times to intstall debian 2.0. I don't seem to have a problem once the install is complete. The system boots just fine. However, I have been trying to using man to look at the various manuels for assistance and the os reports that it can't find "man".
Also in trying to download new "packages" I have downloaded some .deb files, for example man-db_2_3_10-65 and manpag_1_19-1.deb. This I have done so as to read the manuuels. I cannot get the os to recognise the new .deb files either in dos or using the rawrite2 prog to copy the "images" to disk. I cannot seem to get the system to read the floppy and load or install the .deb files. I have tried this with both dselect ant dpkg -i. The directories are also not reporting their contents correctly apparently. The prog when I do try to install tells me that the device isn't in the mtab or fstab files. Yet when I navigate to these files I cannot open them and there is nothing listed as being contained in the files. I know I am a "newbie". It has been a pleasure to find and use another operating system besides w95. But despite three attempts at installation I cannot seem to be getting the system ot work properly. I hope I have ezplained my problems clearly but if not please ask me questions as I would like to make full use of debian and maybe learn enough to help someone else. Please help if you can email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
