The dselect manual for beginners should definitely have this

Am I a complete idiot or is Deselect one of the most diabolical
programs ever?
It's so seductive. I've used it quite a number of times. Worked
beautifully. Then I made a mistake. And each step to try to undo the
mistake just digs the hole deeper. I'll never get out!

Dselect is indeed not a begineer's best friend. (Been there, done
that!) There are several ways to tackle using it (or not) in
installing debian. What worked for me was to enter allow the install
script to drop me into dselect after the reboot and let it install the
basic packages. The first phas
Greetings,
Yes "Install All Packages" would be incorrect due to conflicts between
packages. As I indicated in my earlier post it was also not possible to
select the packages listed on the initial screen, as a return there
simply dumps the user into the "Select" screen. Packages such as
"admin," et
Hi Patrick,
I suggest that you not change the package selections during the initial
installation. You can always go back and add/remove packages later. Don't

difficult to sort out.

You cannot install everything. This is intentional: the distribution

Hello,
I am trying to install the Debian Release 2.0 (CheapBytes) and am having
trouble with the dselect utility. If I am reading the help file correctly one
can highlight "all packages", press return, and then proceed to installation.
When I do that there are an enormous number of packages that

Actually, insmod means "add a driver to the kernel". (Okay, it means
"load a module", but let's not get technical.) For instance, to use
my CD-ROM, I have to type
