Those are the packages. You can install them "manually" using dpkg -i FILENAME They may complain that you need to install something else first. If you want to use dselect (and you should), you should have a "Packages" file from the ftp archive or CD where you got the packages. If you downloaded less than the entire set of packages, you can use dpkg-scanpackages (it has a man page) to generate the "Packages" file. You'll need to install the "netstd" package to get the telnet server. Bruce -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
