Dselect is a very powerful tool, but is really hard to understand. I went
through more than 5 debian installs before I felt reasonably comfortable
with it.
To address that, a new tools is being developed; it will have interfaces
for both the console and for X, and is supposedly easier to understand;
but it will only be available on debian 2.1. Dselect will continue to be
available to those who want it.

There's a standard that defines how this stuff should be organised; it's
the sucessor of the FSSTND 1.2, don't remember the name of it (check the
debian web site). Debian up to version 2.0 complies with the FSSTND 1.2;
debian 2.1 will be compliant with the newer standard, and I think that's
closer to the way RedHat does things.
See ya,

It's all true, and you don't know nothing yet.
