Having said that, just now I installed capt on my office box (as opposed to my home box), and the "c" does work. I think maybe I wasn't doing something right on my home box. Just now, when I marked "links" to be installed, I then pressed "c" and another screen came up, presumably showing me dependencies. OK, fine, so I hit <RETURN>. Nothing happened, so I pressed "ESC" or "q" (I forget), and went back to the previous screen. I hit <RETURN>; nothing. I hit "c"; nothing. I hit "q". Dropped out of capt without anything happening. So I went back in and remarked "links" for installation, hit "c" which took me to the dependency screen, hit "c" AGAIN, and then things started happening. I think console-apt will be a great tool; now that I've gotten past the first "learning curve", I think I'm going to like it a LOT better than dselect. But then again, I've only successfully used it once, so time will tell.
