You can type 'fg' to bring the backgrounded dselect process into the foregronud. (See your shell's man page for details.) You also might find it easier to run dselect in the foreground, and do other work in a separate virtual console/xterm window. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
