Hi everyone, I have been trying to get a new system installed without much luck.
I am bailing out of the installation before the standard package selection part and then just running Access -> Update in dselect before I quit dselect. Then I want to install all the .deb packages by hand. I check dependencies myself and install necessary files and it works pretty good. I have only had one problem doing it this way and that is when I try to install xbase after installing xlib6g and all the other dependencies I get the error: "ln: cannot symbolic link '../../../doc/X11' to '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc': no such file or directory" and it exits dpkg. I've done a dejanews search and found reports of the problem but no solutions. I have one message that says to create the symlinks by hand but the given command lines didn't work and being relatively new I got confused by where '../../../doc/X11' really is - I know it's three levels back but from what starting point? Thanks in advance for any assistance, Gary Singleton _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
