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...

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?

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...
