I'm somewhat sharing this problem. My problem is now to install Debian in a machine. It is connected to the net, but I cannot make that connection using Linux at the moment. The base is already installed, but 1) I wanted to install a predefined standard system. 2) How can I get easily a list of the packages needed? I could put all the neede packages on a zip-disk. Both win and debian can read and write on that zip-disk, but the netconnection is now only with win95. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
