i always heard that the multicd option in dselect was somewhat broken so avoid using it if you can.
as for XF86 see http://www.debian.org/~vincent for the proper line(s) to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list to update it then run apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade note the packages on vincent's site are unofficial, although i have had rather good luck with them, there has been a couple times when i had minor problems(which was always with non critical software which is good :) ) nate On Tue, 11 Apr 2000, Gregory Guthrie wrote: guthri >1) I think I have the most up to date stable (slink) system, I have used guthri >apt-get to do an update/upgrade, and everything seems OK. guthri > guthri >2) when I use dselect, I do not get the multi-cd option; but I have a guthri >release on multiple cd's (2.1R4). guthri > guthri >3) when I use the cd2 from this set, all works fine, but if I try to use guthri >cd1, it complains about the path, and no Packages file found, although it guthri >is there, and in the right place (same as CD#2). guthri > guthri >4) I tried to do apt-get install xfree86 to get the most up to date guthri >version, but it did nothing.
