Packages - Debian

[nickcharlton]

Using Debian Etch I am having trouble getting the required packages.

I am following the guide and using Etch, but as I get to selecting the packages I am having a problem with cat. From looking on the debian packages list (as provided on the debian site) I am given the option of catdoc, catdvi or catsboot. As catsboot is for a different architecture, I am am assuming this doesn't matter.

Edit: From looking in the packages list, I can see that it is being pulled as a dependancy from another. Should the list of packages be updated?

AFAIK you're the first having problems with the package list...

Code:

apt-get install `cat ./docs/Debian/debian-packages-etch`

what's the problem here?

You don't need to install cat but you should install all packages that are listet in the file ./docs/Debian/debian-packages-etch - see http://www.isp-control.net/ispcp/browser...kages-etch

and... the code above is the fitting command for this.

Take care with the ` theese are not ' !!!

I changed it in the documentation...

Ah hah. Thanks.

I believe in my first post I spent most of the time mumbling away. I now have the installer running and will check back when it is done.

ahh - now I see.

The doku in the wiki differs from the INSTALL which is shipped...

Are there no backticks in the wiki?

[nickcharlton]

There wasn't backticks, instead there were brackets, but the wiki was showing these in the wrong places. rbtux just updated the error in the wiki docs.

For some reason, I decided to follow the wiki docs, rather than the shipped docs, although I did read through both.

@joxi: no i removed the backticks to avoid confusion...
