RE: Dselect - a difficult beast to tame

[Alec Clews]

Maybe you should use 'dpkg <path_to_debfile>' in this situation.   Yes deselect is awkward   And I'm using Windows 2K and MS Outlook :-(((   -----Original Message----- From: hzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 1 February 2001 15:03 To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Dselect - a difficult beast to tame Good people of the community-       Why on God' s green earth didn't developers ever think of end users when they made dselect?     I simply can't understand why it doesn't accept a simple path (e.g., /cdrom/debian/potato) to some files I burned on a CD! Is there any easy way? Any documentation?     It seems irrational that developers didn't make it accept a simple path to files...I can't install a browser in Debian, so here I am, using Windows...     Somebody help!!       Thanks     Henry
