Are these the files I need to Well, they are not. I don't know where you got that idea. msdos-i386 contans a set of directories grooping up the packages.

How can all the X-Windows files If you are planing to store the packages on a msdos partion yes, otherwise you can just as well use the long filenames found in binary. The smootest way to install it though is to install the base system and let the packages system download the rest. > > Please help this poor college student who has been misguided by the > world of Windoze 95 :) Welcome to heaven! - -------------------------------------------------------- Name: Hakan Ardo E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.ub2.lu.se/~hakan/sig.html Public Key: Try "finger [EMAIL PROTECTED]" Interests: WWW, Programming, 3D graphics Thought for the day: As long as one understands, the spelling does not matter :-) - ---------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMtOT496dx9igIm71AQFMMQQAi/gQFSNx/du60CVRDaA4+/HRHhrP+x8n kFwy1cpgvR1EOpbVre9AgMyGqCQScyGWyqfWlAa8PwfoCro7aB9UX74JtYpJCA7b UomwQfAIaBF4UzCCN1hGGnaZhpJM2cd0F+TJDajkxZIfUt9Fmee5upg6+ZBnX5Ks JmTagJh0jz8= =ZZgn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
