Hi. I've been trying for the past few days to get deselect to work with nfs. Specifically, I am using an evaluation copy of SunSoft's PC-NFSPro (an nfs server) to create an NFS export on my Windows 95 machine. In that export, which is actually the Windows 95 CD-ROM, I have the Debian 1.3.1 distribution CD.
>From my base install of Linux, which I made using the same CD, I can mount, view, and move around the NFS partition. The CD reads fine, the files are listed fine, and everything seems to work as it should. Here's the trouble. I start dselect, and tell it to use an already mounted NFS partition for Access. I then begin to give it the specifics it needs regarding file locations. During this time, it will read the CD. After a few moments however, it will return and say that there were no *.deb files found. I can give it a directory path directly to deb files, and I still get the same response. I have also tried this without premounting the NFS partition, and it still happens. I thought this may be related to SunSoft's implementation of NFS, but as I said before, I have no trouble mounting, viewing, or browsing the CD and it's contents. I have used this CD on the very same Windows95 machine, using the same CD-ROM, to install a local copy of Linux to a partition of the hard drive (sharing the HD between Linux and 95). So I can't imagine it would be the CD-ROM or the CD itself. I would appreciate any ideas for solving this. Thanx in advance. Pete -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
