I sense you are talking about dselect. Here's a nugget of wisdom for anyone who is going to try out debian in the near future or the near past: AVOID DSELECT LIKE THE PLAGUE. Use aptitude instead. End of lesson. Those of you who have used dselect in the past, you can delete that from your arsenal, it doesn't apply anymore. -- Hans Fugal | If more of us valued food and cheer and http://hans.fugal.net/ | song above hoarded gold, it would be a http://gdmxml.fugal.net/ | merrier world. | -- J.R.R.
