/me rolls off chair laughing.

I sincerely hope the ":-P" means you are using sarcasm.

dselect was the reason I stayed away from Debian for 3 years! Every
casual installation I made got as far as dselect and I sat there going
"wtf is this?" And I was the type that I was rolling my own RPM files
for our local network. It was only after enough people around me were
seriously using Debian that I finally grit my teeth and waded through.
