I originally installed the base debian packages from cd and when
everything seemed ok I connected via the apt option to the default serv
er (debian.org I think) in order to get Netscape amongst other things.
However dselect stops at the install stage telling me that
/var/cache/apt/archives/ is full
While dselect was getting files from a mirror by ftp last night
is stopped with the following error message:
Net::FTP: Unexpected EOF on command channel at
/usr/lib/perl5/Net/FTP.pm line 1195
The ppp link was still up and the ppp log indicated it had not
gone down and re-started.
