dselect never does that - it'll show them to you, but not select them by

I do rescue/boot/drivers from floppies, then base via network.
I add packages for the "C
Well, there is "http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages";
Choose the distribution you want (stable, unstable or frozen), then
snoop around until you find what you need. All the dependencies are
shown for each package and you have the opportunity to download those

A few weeks ago, I purchased the one-CD Debian starter kit that
includes a copy of O'Reilly's Learning Debian. I managed to
install the files on the CD, and at the moment I have a working
text-based Debian system.
I would, however, like to have an *updated* working text-based

Hello,
Let me start off my saying that I am new to Debian. Previously I've
