I suggest never using dselect. Seth knows how to use it. I once removed
half of my system just trying to install a program.
For package selection with debian I suggest the following:
Installation - Choose simple. This calls tasksel, which can also be run
later.
You want a package? - Use apt-get.
apt-get install <packagename>
apt-cache search <search string>
You can also type in:
apt-get -f install to make sure nothing has been left half installed.

i just got debian installed tonight and when i took it
home and did the "dselect" thing to install all of the
packages i got one error that stops the whole thing
that says "installation script returned error exit
stats 100" i'v gotten this three out of three trys,
just wondering if this is normal or how to get rid of it.
