Hi all,
I have instaledl debian on my PC. After the standard debian installed, I
would like to install other packages such as X window. So I tried to use
'dselect' to install the packages. However, I have idea how to use
'dselect' tool.
I typed 'dselect' to enter the program. then is provided 7 methods as
below:
[A]ccess ....
[U]pdate ....
[S]elect ....
[I]nsatll ....
[C]onfig
[R]emove
[Q]uit
I chose "Access" to specify the access path, then in this method I chose
"multi_cd " for the access method. After that it asked me few question
as below:
1. Where on the CD-ROM the top level of Debian distribution is - this
will usually contain the 'dists' directory?
My answer: /debian
2. Where is the _non_free 'Package.cd' file?
My answer: /debian/dists/slink/contrib/binary-i386
3. Where is the _non_US_ 'Package.cd' file?
My answer: /debian/dists/slink/contrib/binary-i386
4. Where is the _local_ 'Package.cd' file?
My answer: /debian/dists/slink/contrib/binary-i386
Is these answer correct?
What is the 'Package.cd' file?
If I finished the access path, what is the next step to install X
window.
The other question about mouse. After I installed the standard debian,
the nouse wasn't work. How to make it work?
Thanks.
Phil
