I've just installed 1.3.1 with my shiny new CDROM set so please don't tell me that Debian GNU/Linux version 2.0.0 is due out next week.
My first use of dselect was interesting but seemed to work out fine when I worked out how to display a list of "All" packages installed or not. However I ran it a second time just to familiarise myself with it and when I went to quit I accidentally selected "Install". As expected the program starting flying throught the list of programs but it never seemed to stop. My screen saver activated twice as I was waiting for the program to stop. I'm not sure what the default time the screensaver is set to but it took ages before I decided that the program was in an infinite loop and pressed Ctrl-C to cancel. No harm seems to have been done. All of the programs I remember installing work fine. I used the dpkg utility to install the staroffice.xxxxxx.deb and netscape.xxxxx.deb wrapper programs and they seem to work fine too, thanks to a scan of the debian-user archives. Can anyone give me a brief run-down on these files from /var/lib/dpkg OR point me to a doc that will tell me more about how package management works under Debian. available 576,252 available-old 576,252 cmethopt 13 diversions 112 diversions-old 57 lock 0 methlock 0 predep-package 0 status 232,180 status-old 232,158 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
