        I think that the new way of installation is that the
        boot-floppies grab the deb packages that once composed the
        base system from a network repository as needed, but I must
        confess that this is not as handy as having one tar file,
        especially if you're doing things in-house.

        Yes, that's a possibility (and, I think, the way to go). BTW,
        I don't know how people can use dselect. I haven't used it for
        a long while, but when I did, it was one of the worst programs
        regarding Human-Computer Interface that I had used. Of course,
        it may have changed since then.

        And apt-get is nice. :-)
