1 Installation using a pile of floppies, at least one of which (usually
2 the first) contains the Packages file, and the rest of which contain

6 directories as well as the main Debian distribution you must have the
7 Packages files for those areas on separate floppies. The usual way to
8 do this is to put each Packages file on the first floppy which contains
9 packages from the relevant area.
