hiya, dselect is the program you're probably thinking of. as a piece of advice, do any package browsing as a normal user, because it's real easy to hit a key you didn't mean to, and it can lead to all kinds of wacky situations with your system. if you're looking for packages that do specific things, i'd recommend apt-cache search. the format is pretty straight forward. like
bash$ apt-cache search nintendo emulator
note that spaces between search terms means OR, so use double quotes
if you don't want that, and be prepared to pipe to less. after you
find the packages you're interested in,
bash$ apt-cache show packagename
will give you all the details you'd have seen in dselect
hth,
sean
