Installation using a pile of floppies, at least one of which (usually | |
the first) contains the Packages file, and the rest of which contain | |
the binary *.deb files. | |
If you are installing software from the `non-free' or `contrib' | |
directories as well as the main Debian distribution you must have the | |
Packages files for those areas on separate floppies. The usual way to | |
do this is to put each Packages file on the first floppy which contains | |
packages from the relevant area. |
