I don't think he can. I think this is the case where debian has no net access, but can get stuff off another filesystem via duel-boot with an OS that does have net access. While it would seem good to give debian net access :), he apparently can't for some reason. So, now we know dselect needs /var/lib/dpkg/available. Is that simply a file that's downloaded? Is it something that's built from other files? I think he needs to know how to get the content via ftp or http and then how to build /var/lib/dpkg/available by hand. I don't know how. Also, could he just edit the one he has and take out one or both of the offending entries? ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # Stell dir vor, es ist Krieg und keiner geht hin...
