Hi,

Package:  debian-1.1 / dselect as found on the boot/root/base floppies
          from June 2nd

A short description of the bugs I encountered:
----------
        o the first try to (setup modules or configure the kernel?)
          returned:  /target/lib/modules: no such file or directory

        o repeating the action succeeded (i escaped to shell after
          the first failure and saw, there IS a /target/lib/modules file
          or directory ...

----------
        o After selecting the access method (CDROM) and selecting
          packages to be installed dselect displayed:

          can't install from /stable/binary (or something similar)
          since dpkg -iGROEB /stable/binary returned an error
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          If I mount the CD manually and then manually do
          dpgk -iGROEB /where/the/cd/is/mounted
          all is ok.  (or if I select `already mounted filesystem' as
          the access method)

Please tell me the error message.  I haven't a hope of figuring out
what's going wrong otherwise.

If you could demonstrate the bug while running dselect inside `script'
that would be ideal.   gzip and uuencode the `typescript' file and
mail it to me.

Ian.
