I have the CheapBytes 4 CD set. I was wondering if there is a clean way of maintaining the dselect package list on my machine while also installing stuff of the extra CDs.
If I copy a .deb file onto somewhere on my HD and use dpkg -i does this update the list of packages reported when I run dselect again? Is there a "recomended" directory for me to stick these .deb files in? Would it be possible for dselect to ask for a local directory, that is one that is not relative to the CD root, where extra .deb files can reside, and so be included in the list of available packages. Or perhaps have I missed someting somewhere?
