it would be helpful if you noted what package(s) were being instaled. in slink XFREE86 is spread accross a vast number of packages according to what they are used for.
if you told it to install XFREE86, i find it highly unlikely it is installing something other then XFRE86 :) something else is there may be other packages marked for installation that when you ran the install part of dselect it installed those too. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Sun, 31 Oct 1999, Randy Kaplan wrote: > Dselect question - > > I am trying to figure out if Dselect is doing what it should be doing.
