An even more urgent need from my point of view is a screen to let us know what it intends doing before it acutally does it. This dselect thing has been a real pain for me. I think that dselect is at once the strength and the main weakness of Debian. By weakness I mean that it will scare people off. When I first installed R96 I ran into a brick wall with dselect. Having to get on top of that tin of worms right in the middle of my first install was just too much for me. The more I tried to extricate myself from all those conflicts the worse it got. That was months ago, but just yesterday I ran dselect for some minor thing and it went off and did all sorts of things including installing the X-mono server - it took me an hour or so to get X working again. I still have no idea what the Update item does or how or when I should use it. Or if I should ftp the latest Packages and use that? My compliments to Ian, Bruce and the rest of the Debian team. I am impressed with what I am now running, thanks to them. Lindsay -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Lindsay J Allen, CNE.
