Benedict I am a relative newbie, but I managed to install 1.1 and 1.2 from iConnect CDs. with only a few glitches. These CDs are a little cranky in that you have to guess (or ask, I didn't but should have) how to tell dselect where to find stuff. I gather that you can put symlinks in /tmp to directories on the CD to make things work like dselect expects.
You can find the list of debian CD manufacturers on teh web page (www.debian.org). I think when I upgrade, I'll buy my CD from Dwarf. (Dale Scheetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ) He is a Debian developer whose Flexible Software sells CDs. I think that he will be more careful than many in his setup, so broken CDs should be rare. --David On Wed, 4 Jun 1997, Benedict Chong wrote: > I bought infomagic's devel resource for the debian stuff and > apparently it's broken. > > So I'm looking at getting something from iconnect (www.i-connect.net). > > Are their cdroms any good?
