You only need them if you have an old dynamically-linked binary you want to run under 2.1.0. To install these or any other distribution from the CDROM, do something like # mount /cdrom # cd / # cat /cdrom/dists/foo/foo.* | tar xzvf - # umount /cdrom (It's wise to try it first with 'tvzf' as the options to tar, to make sure the files go where you think they are going 8-) >Where were the files supposed to be in disk sets?
