I think it was important not to have mounted the cdrom before using dselect, you have to mount it with dselect when it asks you. Also, for the second question, I think there was a '.' in there. Once you get it to work correctly, you don't have to deal with it again. It is confusing even when you know exactly where on the cdrom the stuff is located. > -- > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > > -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Linux Help Needed.
Hi there !!! I installed Linux in my system but i can't run dselect to install all the packages. Please help me what to write when dselect asks me for the locations and some blocks, what I have to type there. I have Pentium Pro (686) with to HD controllers on board. So my 2 HD's are conected to first controller and my primary master (c: drive) is for windows and dos, and second HD- primary slave (d: drive) is for Linux. My CD-ROM is conected to second conntroller as secondary master. If anything else needed please e-mail me.

Re: Linux Help Needed.
Hi. Hey, you shouldn't begin with 'I have a PPro ...'. It make me jaleous and I don't want to help you ! ( the 486 is great, but still...) I suppose your CD-rom is IDE, so your block device name should be /dev/hdc1 I'm not sure because mine is different. hda is the master on the first interface, ( C: ) hdb - slave --, ( D: ) so I suppose the next is hdc the number is for the partition. As there is only one in a cd-rom, it sould be 1. Oops, I checked the Linux File System Standart, and it says /dev/hdc (master cdrom on the second interface) Bye, Alexandre On Thu, 17 Apr 1997, val.tamarov wrote: > Hi there !!! > I installed Linux in my system but i can't run dselect to install all the > packages. > Please help me what to write when dselect asks me for the locations and > some blocks, what I have to type there.
