I am unable to successfully access the Debian packages using dselect through a dail-up ISP. I loaded the Hamm version using floppy disks created from the binary files from the ftp site as instructed in the install document. I have checked the pppconfig files and confirmed the currect /dev/ttyS#, IP addresses, the provider, provider's phone number, username and password. When I choose select Access method of ftp in the dselect program, I answer the directory information questions (maybe this might be my problem, I may have the wrong directory information--is it /pub/debian, dists/unstable/main, dists/unstable/contrib?). After answering the final question, the message returns the error message: "Failed to connect. Retry connection at once[y]:" This is followed by another error message: "FTP error-error at /usr/lib/per15/Debian/dpkgftp.pm line 81, <STDIN> chunk10 query/setup script returned error exit status1. Press return to continue." Also, I am unsure of the question, "Enter Debian directory." Do I setup my own directory on my hard drive or do I re-enter the site of the packages? Any other tips on installing from the ftp site would be helpful.
