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