I only use dselect when installing the system for the very first time. I say no to run tasksel and then enter dselect and exit as soon as I can. This will install all basic packages you really need. After that everything is installed with apt-get. Most documentation concerning Debian mentions apt-get anyway so if you want to do foo on your system all you usually need to do is apt-get foo. Sorry about not being able to give a direct answer to your question, but maybe you'll like this alternative. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
