Hi Paul, I downloaded an ftp server for win95 and downloaded a subset of the Debian tree to my win95 machine. Then I pointed dselect to the ftp server on my winbox, and everything worked fine. The ftp server pkg is called "War-ftpd" and I downloaded it from www.tucows.com. Hope it works for you. --David
