Then, I could tell dselect the paths to each of the sets of packages, and it installed all without my having to change CD's (which the previous release wouldn't do, anyway).
Will I be able to get a Non-Free and Non-US CD, and will apt do the multiple install from them? Or, if not, how do I make apt aware of where I am keeping those sets of files? Steven C. Martin
