I want to install the latest stable release of pan. I've found that pan
has a lot of dependencies on things that are not included in my distro.
Can I use dselect to get pan and all the packages it depends on at once?
How should I go about it?
Thanks.

The network connection (ppp, ethernet, etc.) must be up before
giving the ftp option to dselect - ftp does not open a connection
itself.

It really depends on what firewall you are using. Where I am we are
using TIS's (the maker's of the Firewall Toolkit) Gauntlet firewall, it
