Hi all: I think i need to learn about tasksel. I need a help on using tasksel.
I have a customCD which has base pacakges + xserver-xorg + xwindow-system +xfce4 in my pool. When i install from that CD., only the base system is installed and seems successfull. After that i boot into the new system and added the following to the /usr/share/tasksel/debian-tasks.desc -- Task: desktop Section: user Relevance: 8 Description: XFCE Desktop environment This task provides basic desktop software and serves as a basis for the Gnome and KDE desktop tasks. Key: x-window-system xserver-xorg xfce4 Packages: task-fields Test-desktop: 1 --- Then i mounted my CD . and ran: tasksel. I selected the "XFCE Desktop environment" option and press OK. At this time i think it sud install the packages xfce4,x-window-system and xserver-xorg. which is not happeing. is it correct? or there is some extra things i have to do to install them. And also: if i do at shell: apt-get install xserver-xorg x-window-system xfce4 It is installed successfully and can use my xfce4 desktop env without any problem. For the time being in order to know/learn tasksel i want my pacakges to be installed by tasksel. I really need help from you guys. Thanks Paras.
