Not sure how this will affect dselect, but comment out the ftp sites and do an apt-get update. That will remove the entries for the ftp sites, so the CDs should be used. Alternative ( and cooler, but I haven't tried it ), use /etc/apt/preferences. If you're using apt out of woody or later, then you can use /etc/apt/preferences. I don't know what to put to use the CDs, but look at the man page for apt_preferences and I'd think Origin is what needs to be used. For a further alternative if preferences doesn't work out well and this is something you run into a lot look at: http://home.pages.de/~lufthans/unix/ You want the "security, testing and unstable updater for debian". It's easy enough to tweak one of those to become apt-cd. Again, not certain how this would work with dselect, but once you've updated appropriately you could use apt-get install packagename or apt-cd install packagename. ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # When I work, I work hard.
