Re: Cheapbytes Debian 2.1
I've just installed slink from the Cheapbytes CD's with no problem,
once I figured out 1 little detail.
Dselect at 1 point asks for the location of the non-free, non-US, and
local branches. These aren't on the Cheapbytes CDs and you have to
answer 'none', otherwise you get an error (I had originally been
trying scan).
