Hiya. I just installed Debian 1.3.1 onto a spare partition of my system this weekend. The installation faq found on www.debian.org was very helpful in getting it installed on my system. However, the DSELECT faq was far from helpful... in fact, it was apalling how it ignores the novice user such as myself.
So I have DSELECT up and running, and I have to choose the first item on the menu (0 - Access) in order to tell DSELECT where the packages are. Does the FAQ tell me what to do here? No. The FAQ assumes that I am an experienced user, and would know what a "Block Device" is. But I don't. The FAQ for dselect is lacking in this area. It should give step-by-step instructions on using it, so that newbies such as myself can get it up and running without having to call up their Linux-guru friends at 2am.
