I have to quick questions, I have limited experience on UNIX machines and I am

Thank you for the suggestions, I will give it a try again this evening.
I may still need some help fighting the dependancy issues. When I tired to

Hi David,
1: How about installing LILO with a real short boot delay (say 2 seconds
or something) and Win98 as the default OS? Your family won't even know
it's there. :) Or another option: Boot Debian using Loadlin.
2: Run dselect (as root) and install the packages "man-db" (the actual

I'm attempting to install debian for the first time (i'm a long time redhat

Ok, basicly you go to the www.debian.org
and follow a link to installation guide.
There you will be given hte instructions on how to install, and have links
to the files you need.
