Let's see ... dselect. Oh yeah, I remember that one. I haven't even
touched that program in over a year. I started with Slink off of CDROM,
upgraded to Potato via the internet, and have also installed and
deinstalled bunches of packages. Mostly I use apt, with occasional
back-up from dpkg. IIRC apt came about either with potato or late in
Slaink - I really don't remember. But at any rate it *should* be there
on your drive somewhere.
I never did like dselect all that much. If I want to find what's available,
I either check Debian's web site or look through the Package.gz files that
apt downloads.
So, yes there are others out there. And apt works quite well.
