While I had been a devoted Slackware fan, trying Debian convinced me
that it is far superior a distribution. However, in the process of
installing Debian 1.3.1 at least 15 times (several computers and
several different plans on how to install them all) it occurred to me
that two features in `dselect` would be WONDERFUL!!!
1) Once all packages are selected, be able to dump the selections to
a file that could be later read in for subsequent identical
installations.
2) Once all packages are selected, don't skip packages that are
deselected, just ignore them. Dselect for ftp install works this
way, why can't the disk based dselect as well? It looks like much
time is spent "skipping" packages that do not need to be
installed.
Thanks much for all the good work. Debian 1.3.1 is a pleasure to work
with. I have been using Linux for about 4 years now at home and at
work.
