Help! I just installed Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 on my new machine, but unfortunately I made a silly mistake: When the installation menu is displayed after rebooting the system, one can select a preset selection of packages to be installed with "dselect". I was going to choose "Dialup" to automatically pick the appropriate packages for a home computer setup. Being a bit curious, though, I selected "Custom" first to check out what options are available. Since it looked too complex, I wanted to go back and stick with the dialup pre-defined selection, yet when I clicked "Cancel", it didn't go back but quit the installer. Afterwards "dselect" came up and I had to exit it. Now I'm sitting on my new system without being able to install the other stuff... :-/
I see just two options: Either I make a manual install (being a newbie, I don't think that's a good idea, I might miss some important packages) or I re-install from scratch using the CD-ROM (having to configure everything else again). Oh well, that's a real bother, there must be a better way! Do you know one? I guess the Debian Installation program that lets you select the selections is located somewhere on my system, so I simply have to start it again and pick the proper choice this time - I've been searching for it, couldn't find it, though... So now I ask for help on the mailing list - hopefully somebody can help me out (I don't think I'm the first one to have this particular problem) - thanks in advance, Eavy - "Linux rocks'n'rules" -- <-Quote of the Day-> I sat down beside her, said hello, offered to buy her a drink... and then natural selection reared its ugly head.
