I seem to be getting closer. I mounted the dos partition
using vfat and that seemed to work fine. I installed the standard
workstation package. Dselect installed a lot of packages but also came
up with an error at the end that it was exiting because of too many
errors. After I exited out of dselect I tried to run startx and it gave
me an error that said that libXmu.so.6 could not be found. When I tried
to run XF86Setup it said that libXaw.so.6 could not be found. Any ideas
on what would be causing this?

get the msdos version of the packages (shorter
names) or mount the dos
drive with:
mount -t vfat ..................... etc.
-t vfat says that the type of drive is windows
fat (longnames)
