Start dselect. Do nselect. Scroll down to something which may not be useful. Press "-" long to deselect. install. Then do dselect again to install what you want. Your old config shall be still good. But before doing this, I recommend you to clean apt cache # apt-get autoclean Cheers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
