Well I spoke too soon! I finally got dselect going and actually
installing files, only to come back an hour later and find the machine
frozen solid. If anyone can help me determine what went wrong I would
appreciate it.
Background info: I have a Mac IIci with 48megs of RAM and a 700meg hard
drive partitioned so: 100megs root, 550megs usr, 50 megs swap.
I picked a basic (I think 405 meg) profile for installation and set
dselect to work.
Here is what was on the monitor when I found the system frozen:
Unpacking libc6-develop (from.../ libc6-dev_2.0.7.19981211-6.deb)
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 45082, scsi0, channel 0, id

scsi disk I/O error : develop 08:14, sector 56926, absolute sector 273213
scsi0 : wee - reselected after selection complete!

The fist thought that occurs to me is: does dselect know enough to put
files on the usr partition, or did it freeze trying to stuff 400+ megs
onto a 100 meg root partition? How does dselect know which files to put
on which partition? Or does it know?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Coming up next: attempt number
NINE to install this EASY to install system!!!
