First, thanks for the pointers... But I'm still having problems.
I've done an unpack and install on mirror-2.8-0.deb (that's the version
that I have here for 0.93), but there's nothing under /etc/mirror (as a
matter of fact, that directory didn't even exist). There's also no

Thanks!
I've actually tried running dselect with ftp, but it didn't work.
It looks like my version of perl may have some problems as can be seen in

to upgrade, I'm not sure how to upgrade perl because all the packages
I don't mean to sound sstupid, but do I install X11R6 like I do for

I have installed X11R6 before (3.1.2D/E). are there any bugs
or peculiarities that I should be aware of?
Are there other common freeware items that are not in packages?

Hi,
The DOS+LOADLIN solution is in my opinion a very practical and safe one.
Yes, that is true. And I would suggest everyone who starts with Linux to use
this combination, if:

- she doesnt need the additional boot password security
- has a minute more time
