| Installation from a directory on a filesystem that has already been |
| mounted. If the options available for mounting things automatically |
| are inadequate for your needs you'll need to get a shell command |
| prompt (for example by switching VT using Alt-F<n> or quitting |
| dselect) and use it to mount the filesystem before continuing. |
| |
| The area you're installing from should contain the Packages.gz file |
| from each distribution area being installed (usually stable, contrib |
| and non-free) as well as the corresponding binary/*/*.deb files. |
| |
| The easiest way to do get this is to make a (partial) copy of the |
| distribution site's directory hierarchy, if possible. |
