Hello, The 'mountable' method of dselect is great -- you don't have to wait for thousands of packages telling you "it's already installed". But while from the local disk mirror it worked flawlessly, I failed to use it through NFS.
I have a partial mirror of hamm on the NFS, containing only the directories you see below: I set it up to use NFS mount in fstab, entered the dirs (hamm/binary-i386, contrib/binary-i386, non-free/binary-i386 and non-us/hamm), and update worked fine. After selecting I went on to [I]nstall, but it told me "Warning: package XXXXXX, version X.Y-Z not available for installation. Skipping." and some "Error: package XXXXXX does not have a filename! Skipping." (XXXXX is the actual pkg's name, etc) then at the end it summarised as: "XXXXX: package file not found" for each package to be upgraded or installed. What could I be screwed up there? :) cya peter -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
