apt-get install dpkg-multicd (I think this should be in the dselect tutorial section of the debian install manual but it isn't - I'll submit a bug report to install-doc unless someone knows why I shouldn't) Then you will have access to the multicd method in dselect. There are instructions for using it in the debian installation manual -> Advanced Package Selection with dselect -> dselect tutorial: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/dselect-beginner You can also add multiple cd's to your sources with apt-cdrom. Just put a cd in and type "apt-cdrom add", or "apt-cdrom -cdrom /mountpoint add" if it can't find your cd. "man apt-cdrom" for more info. Then you could use apt-get remove packagename and apt-get install packagename to re-install packages. > > Is there a way to restart tasksel so that it will prompt for all the tasks > again [not just the ones that weren't selected the previous time]? I don't know about this, but it looks like tasksel only installs packages that aren't installed yet. You might have to remove them with another package like apt-get, aptitude, or dselect before installing them again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
