LOL. Yeah, I could have written this same email when I was trying to use dselect a year ago before learning how to use it. I can feel the frustration here in this poor person. I had it too. I was trying to install slink I think. Hopefully he'll do the same thing I did - stay with RedHat for a while and try again later. Fortunately potato had X 3.3.6 which had my video driver and I was able to install and bypass dselect for a while. Then I learned about apt-get which made a big difference. Good luck. Anita
