You can also find the xserver-mach64 package at www.debian.org under "Distribution-->Debian packages"... Just do a search for the pacakge name in "stable". You can download the package using Windows and then transfer it to your Linux partition via any means possible. Then just do dpkg --install ./<package name> where package name is the full name of the xserver-mach64 package.
PS You can mount and read Windows partitions. NTFS partitions are read-only (at least unless you like to live dangerously). I'm mentioning all this in the event that you don't have PPP up and running, and you're not on a network. If that's the case, apt-get won't (of course ;-) work. But if you are online, use Harald's suggestion... Doug Eck Harald Thingelstad wrote: > > On Tue, 17 Oct 2000 07:34:46 Bob Edwards wrote: > > I installed debian from a 3 CD set.
