Errors during Dselect

I get the following error when using the multi-CD "install" feature of dselect. Wrong disk. I need "Debian GNU/Linux Slink (2.1) 1/4 main binary-i386 section 1 SAM19990306", but i found "Debian GNU/Linux Slink (2.1) 1/4 main binary-i386 section 1 SAM19990706". My translation would be that one

Is there a replacement for Dselect??

I read somewhere, I for get where, that when version 2.1 (this was an old article) of Debian came out, it would have a new program called APT that would replace Dselect. Well, I have version 2.1, and I can't find that program. Was this false information??? -Scott

CD-ROM error (i think i found the cause)

Is it possible that the reason my CD-ROM drive has trouble reading the CD is because the CDs are CD-Rs??? My CD-ROM drive is a CR-563 made by a division of Panasonic (I think). It is 2x and uses the sbpcd driver. It is not an IDE drive, it plugs into my Sound Card.

CR-563 CD-ROM error

I get the following error installing from CD-ROM under dselect: sbpcd-0 [1]: sbp_data: CDi-status loop expired. sbpcd-0 [2]: sbp_data: CDi-status timeout (timed_out_data) (FB). sbpcd-0 [3]: sbp_data: read aborted by drive. sbpcd-0 [4]: !st_diskok detected - retrying. sbpcd-0 [5]: !st_diskok detect
