Three hours about dselect?
others are requesting for 6 hrs actually.... ;)
I do Debian installs this way:
1. Install the base system 2. Update my /etc/apt/sources.list 3. apt-get dist-upgrade, if I want 4. apt-get install aptitude 5. aptitude
here's mine:
1. Install the base system and some tools using dselect instead of tasksel during installation.
2. install packages from source. (stupid? read step 3) 3. build my own deb package (ex, webby.deb (AMP)) so that i can skip step 2 on reinstallation .
dselect is bloody. Practically all the Debian users I know skip it and use either apt-get or a nice front-end like aptitude instead. I suspect that the best approach is really to say that dselect is not essential and that newbies can skip it if they want...
that's a sure way of avoiding the curse of dselect's ncurses. =)
