Hi, and sorry for a naff old question but I can't find anything in the archives etc.
I have salvaged a rather old machine, and managed to get the basic installation done and so on. However, I can't figure my way round dependencies and installation of files > 1.44 Mb. Assuming that dselect recognises some scheme for split debs, I can't figure it out. I can split and cat the few big files manually and put them on the HDD, and try dpkg - i on them but this gives dependency problems. Do I just force my way through these and sort the dependencies out in dselect later, or is there an old way of getting dselect to cope with split floppies? Many thanks for any advice.
