Hi, I have just finished installing the debian base system on my 386sx, which has a 170 meg hd and 8 meg of memory. I am brand new to linux/unix. I need some help. I have been on your site for about an hour and have not found any help yet. My 386 is not on the net. How do i download packages fromthe net on this computer and transfer them to my 386? I tried one called"nethack_3.2.3-3.deb". I have no idea of how the command system works on linux? I copied this file to a floppy disk (dos format). I tried dselect and the floppies selection, but it would not work. I tried using dpkg, but what command do i put in for the floopy drive:
i.e. a:/nethack_3.2.3-3.deb Could you plese give me some help, or tell me where i could find some. I have read the debian users guide ed2 chapter on dpkg, and i understand how it works, but i still dont' know how to access the A: HELP! Thanks in advance Scott. ___________________________________________________ GO Network Mail Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com
