I'm looking for the linuxdoc-sgml package. It's not in the directory it
was reported in. There are some packages called sgml-tool and docs. Has
the one linuxdoc-sgml.deb been replaced by the sgml packages? If so what
packages would I need to have the entire thing?
Thanks,

Here at CFNI we have chosen Linux as our web server. Granted, the

I have had this very same problem. I solved it by using the old Debian 1.1
boot/base disks. Then I pointed dselect to Debian 1.2. This worked well and
was the only way (short of possibly creating a custom boot disk) that I found. I
also had no problem installing Slackware on my Thinkpad...
