This was suggested in another message --- but not clearly. You say you have a shared WIN95 box with a CD available. I assume it is on the same side of the firewall as you -- meaning you would not have to go through your proxy server to *FTP* to that WIN95 machine.
So, get a FTP daemon for WIN95 (I suggest WAR-FTPD -- 100%free software) and set that up. Make sure you set yourself up a user account on the new FTP server that has access to the CD-ROM as one of its directories. Now use dselect in FTP mode (in house, direct -- not through the proxy server). On 21 Jan 98 at 13:48, debian-user@lists.debian.org wrote: > See, the problem is I have a computer with no CD.
