Okay, here is what I have learned...
The Debian 1.2 Disk release version is broken.
There is no ftp or dpkg-ftp program installed to your machine if you get all
the Disks and do a fresh install. Basically you are screwed :(
Dselect will not work because there is no ftp.
Nobody understands what th
When trying to run g77 on 1.2 I get
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `f771': No such file or directory
g77 -v gives
gcc -v -fnull-version -o /tmp/gfa02858 -xf77-cpp-input /dev/null -xnone
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/specs
gcc version 2.7.2.1
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i
Well, turns out that 1.2.1 is the same as 1.2-fixed, which I have already
installed and it too is broken.
So now the big question is, where can I get 1.1?

No, dselect's ftp method, dpkg-ftp, uses perl's Net::FTP to do ftp
(the protocol). It does not require ftp (the client). Use dselect to
get netstd and you'll have ftp (the client).
