Mark,
Is it safe to say that this is not because of my own stupidity? I
checked the files in the CD against the files on a Debian FTP site and
the version numbers match. Yet, dselect keeps telling me that netbase
and a few other packages are not the right version. I ignore it and
tell it to install anyway, but it kicks out an "Error 1", I think,
something about some script not being there. I then press <return> and
I am sent back to the main menu. Ordinarily, I buy from LSL. Are their
Debian CDs better? I bought from Cheapbytes this time because I wanted
to try Stampede Linux too.

Linux: If you're not careful, you might actually learn something.
