I am attempting to install Debian 2.2 on my Compaq laptop. I installed the following tasks: C++ Dev, C Dev, Debug, Devel Common, Dialup, Laptop, and X Window System. I was able to complete the installation, but am having trouble adding additional packages. I performed the installation using official CD's. I would like to add XEmacs and Netscape. I have re-installed many times trying to install the above packages and after the installs finished, the X Window System would lock up. I have the following questions:
1) Should overwrite the source list with a new list when selecting (A)ccess? 2) When installing the additional packages, should I hold the previously installed packages so they are not updated? 3) What procedure should I follow to add the packages? Thanks for the help, I'm getting really frustrated! Mike Cantoni
