I asked around a little, and decided to buy a Gravis Ultrasound card
for my debian machine. It turns out to be a PnP device.
Setting the kernel up to handle the Gravis card looks simple, but how

Ok, so somehow I downloaded a lot of stuff I just don't want, like X, emacs,
TeX, and a host of little things like the little calculator program... I
fire up Dselect and go to remove, and then it comes back to the menu screen
with Exit highlighted. Is this normal?
I did a dpkg --list, and I have

i've solved the problems on my machines by linking
/usr/lib/jdk/i586/bin/java to /usr/lib/jdk/i586/bin/java-jdk. don't
know if this is the "approved" solution.

IMO dselect is a wonderful tool and Debian would be sunk without it. We
all owe a great deal to Ian for his work. The problem is that the
learning curve for new users is a bit steep. The words _brick_wall_ have
been mentioned.
On initial install could dselect be run in the background so that n

I am running debian linux 1.1 (linux 2.0.0) very satisfactorily
