Hi!
I did not 'select' any package in dselect, but when I
select 'install' carelessly. It shows a bunch of
packages I need to install. How do I solve this
issue? Is it because I am using 'stable' release with
some testing packages?

Hi There Lance,
I think one of the best ways to solve this problem would be with the
'dpkg --set-selections' command. Get all the names of the packages you
want to have it quit trying to install. Then you can the above command
on a command line and it will be waiting for your entries,

You'll want to look at 'dpkg --get-selections' on the old box, and 'dpkg

I don't think you have something set up quite right (or possibly you are
not correctly interpreting what you see.)
Those packages which are already installed will show up in the uptodate

show up as available with the mark __ if
I don't disagree with you at all. However, case in point:

No, you should enter /cdrom/Debian-1.1.8, not indices.
