Hi, It appears that getting these SB PnP CD-ROMs has been difficult for several newbies, including myself. I finally got mine working
by installing from a DOS partition. I duplicated the directory structure of the first Debian CD on my DOS partition, included the *.deb files in some of the more important-sounding subdirectories (base, utils), and pointed dselect to my hard drive. Once I got enough installed to enable "gcc," I used the module written by Jeff Epler (thanks!), found at: http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/README.ide My CD-ROM works like a charm now, and I can get dselect to install from CD. It wasn't exactly elegent, but I was getting desparate. Jeff J
