Hi,
After using RedHat for the past couple years, I've decided to
broaden my horizons and use Debian. Actually, I got sick and tired of
RedHat always shipping with ancient versions of programs that often caused
other applications to not work.
I was installing the distribution off of floppy, then I planned on
getting everything else from FTP. But when I started dselect, I quickly
found out how complicated it was to actually get packages.
I was wondering if there was any preset set of packages, that
would give me what I needed without having to go crazy trying to choose
from 1500 or so packages. The documentation of dselect is somewhat
cryptic and difficult to understand.
Also I was wondering if there was any way to configure LILO before
it chooses to install Linux as the only bootable partition. Cause I also
run Win95 for games.
Thanks,
Mike
