Embedded Linux >> dselect errors with no access methods available

by mhobley » Tue, 31 Aug 2004 06:50:48 GMT

I have just installed damnsmalllinux on my hard drive.

I have also decompressed and installed the /var/dpkg directory, which
I obtained from the dpkg.tar.gz archive.

I run the command dselect and when I select option 0 choose access
method to use, I get an error:

dselect: no access methods available

How do I configure dselect to access the debian packages that are
available for damnsmalllinux ?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

dear aix gurus
after cloning (with sysback 6000) from a p610 series to a h50 (aix 5.2) i
receive the following message performing a
cfgmgr:

Method error (/etc/methods/cfglft -l lft0 ):

error-message.
