Laptops :: How to restore and start acpid at boot

Yea, you would have to install the ones that the other packages are dependent on first... thought I haven't encountered your problem before.

Previously in the past I have just taken the files from "apt-get install gcc-2.95" and combined it into a gcc-2.95_with_binutils.dsl. I have just used dpkg -X in the past as well, and have just manually edit the list after.

In fact the trick seems to have been to build the dsl with an Internet connection - here's what seems to have worked:

[enable apt from Apps/Tools menu]

apt-get -i gcc-2.95
dpkg -L binutils > /mnt/sda1/mylist.txt
dpkg -L cpp-2.95 > /mnt/sda1/mylist1.txt
dpkg -L gcc > /mnt/sda1/mylist2.txt
dpkg -L gcc-2.95 > /mnt/sda1/mylist3.txt

[open mylist.txt with Beaver and cut & paste contents of mylist1-3.txt into it]
[edit out lines with /doc /man /locale]

tar -T /mnt/sda1/mylist.txt --no-recursion -zcvf /mnt/sda1/optional/gcc-2.95.dsl

After rebooting and loading the newly made gcc-2.95.dsl I was able to "make dep" on a patch of the 2.4.26 kernel sources so I presume it works.

Thanks for the help guys.
