but I have a couple of questions for the experts here:

currently installed on my system?

I'm still struggling with dselect.
I think I've done something horribly wrong. How do I make sure that
everything is installed properly?
My system seems to have stopped asking me configuration questions. How do I

You probably never need to re-run the (A)ccess command from dselect.
For APT, it tends to be significantly easier to manually edit

you should use apt-get:
apt-get install xemacs
and,
apt-get install netscape
or it's maybe:
apt-get install communicator

p.s.:if you didn't scan the cd's

1) I wanted to move into X GUI, and have a lot of X11 stuff under

but do not have XF86Setup.
I ran dselect from my 2.1 disk (Essential Debian), and from both of my
