I want to cross intall debian packages using apt or dselect under Linux (if possible) since I am SOL about having internet access under the HURD (Although if I port PPP I can use my external U.S. robotics modem). I know that GNUMach does not support pcmcia that was my point. I installed from the tar ball. There are still other packages that I would like to get and install. Should the cross-install script work this way? hmmm...maybe I'll just give it a look. I probably will just have to install the debs by hand, oh well. As you can tell I'm clueless about apt and dselect (although I have been using Debian for a while now, and I love it). Well not totally clueless, I do know how to use them. Does the pcmcia stuff still exist? This might be another thing that I can work on. Ah hell, forget what I said about cross installing using dpkg, apt that would never work, would it?
