I've installed the base Debian system as a dual with MS Windows. I want to install X-Window from the Debian web site. The lab where I'm 'working' has a DSL connection, however, I can only get it to work with Windows. Currently, I'm downloading files via IE to the Dos partition, rebooting to Linux and finishing the install there. For small stuff, I can tolerate this. For X-window, I need to do something better.
I've been trying to setup a network connection on the Linux side via pppoe, but I have no support here and it looks like a dead end. I'm thinking of a Windows version of atp-get. If I had that, I could bring down all the packages for X-window create a local mirror on my dos partition and then run atp-get under Linux this time the local mirror is my source). Has this been done before? Are there binaries I can grab? Do you have any helpful suggestions?
