I find that with debian you only have to do one install and then apt-get upgrade keeps you up to date. with SuSE and Red Hat you have to install the next version to get latest software. This is why I moved to debian. I find tasksel too clumsy to use and if I was installing again I would just install a minimal system. synaptic is easier to use than dselect so if you run X all the time you should use it. pete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
