Thanks for the responses, guys! The apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade took care of it. I guess it was pretty naive of me to just run dselect... The error also does come up with apt-get update but there it doesn't hang the install script. Makes all the difference :-) Lukas ___

well as far as i know dselect will start out where it last left off and finish intalling the rest of the 130 Megs, i'm not sure if it has installed these packages yet or not, i would guess not. if you are using apt mehtod of getting your debs then they will be downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives/
