I have tried to avoid using deseled, opting to choose dpkg -i instead.
How can I remove cpp without breaking any dependencies and replace it with

The Debian boot disk (from 7/14/96) does not recognize my NCR53c7,8xxx
SCSI controller. It seems to think it's a 53c406a with no ports
available.
I don't think it's a hardware problem because the RedHat 3.0.3 boot
disks seem to work fine. But I don't really want to use RedHat ;-)

If you use dselect with the ftp option, then you get the installed
size of packages during the install phase. You also have an option to
turn down a download on any particular file. Do you also want that

You probably have two modules loaded for logging, something like this:

tcpdump always dump this message to screen. It seems that it is a kind

the ppp channel seems *hang* for a while because of this error.

Hello,
looks like you are sending UDP:53 (nameserver queries) to 127.0.0.1 and
there is no process to answer those, therefore you get Port Unreachable"
errors.
look in /etc/resolv.conf for an invalid 127.0.0.1, or start a nameserver.
