harddisk

Use this access method only when the hard disk device containing the archive is not yet mounted.

What you need to know:

• Device name for the hard disk partition containing the archive.
• Path to the various archives.

dselect will ask for the device name of the disk partition containing the archive. Once it has successfully mounted this partition it will request the path to the ``top level'' of the distribution. If you have a standard distribution this should be the path to the sub-tree, main/binary-i386, otherwise the answer is ``none''. See the Notes section on page  for more details.
