I checked out the file paths in the docs, and made allowances for the

But no matter what I type in this step, when I hit "OK" the cursor

with the second field on the screen with the <....> in it? I don't
find it mentioned in the documentation.
Different directories? How different, and did they call the CDs
official? That's not ok. The files should be in
dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/current/ somewhere...
Yes, I believe that these are "official" disks. And there is _no_
"current" directory! I've been checking out
dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/2.2.16-2000-07-26/powermac/<directory
with 9 files and a directory with 4 disk images>.
Could it be just that this is a bad set of disks and I need to look
elsewhere? I purchased them because I wanted something bootable
(since I have DSL I don't mind downloading the stuff, but having it
in one package was nice). I've since found out that I can't boot
from them, and if this isn't an official distribution, maybe I should
look elsewhere. Any suggestions?
The <...> is probably some kind of browse... Afraid I don't recall.
Well, I couldn't get it to actually _do_ anything when it was
selected and I hit <enter> so I wondered what the function was...
Still working on it,
Chris
