Why /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin have been removed from PATH
in /root/.bash_profile? (from Debian 1.1 to Debian 1.2).
Is this a bug to be fixed, or just that now we have to manually include
that in the path if we want to have that in the path?

The symbolic links tell what is stable or unstable, not the dir names.
When debian_1.2 was released few days ago, it was time to change the
links to point at the right direction. So, the faq is now incorrect.

I am attempting to install from a iConnect CD circa September 12 1996.
After gross problems with changing a controller and a slightly defective
CD ROM, I am almost ready to run dselect. BUT when the boot up occurs
there is a message that I have not provided any parameters for the

Some of base is renamed base-files. Other parts have split up
further. You should file a bug against the package which you are
downloading which still depends upon base, if one hasn't already been
filed against it.
