Did you read the dselect beginner guide? It should be included in your 
CD set with the other installation files.

Otherwise, get it from
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/disks-i386/current/dselect-beginner.txt
 
(also available as .html)

Ciao,
Martin

  The fourth position indicates what dselect will do, the third what it

  first (which may not be shown) is error. Use ? to get help on dselect.

questions to dselect.

1999-08-16 Thread Lars Nixdorf
Hallo,

I have worked on RedHat, DLD, Suse, Slackware. Now I want to test Debian 2.1.

I have installed the basic System, but now I want to install other packages
with "dselect".

The problem : I doesn't understand dselect. I know how to select packages (+-)
but ...

what means the *** before the package? For what stands the first, second,third
*,-,= ???

what means this:
--- All ...
 b...
- c...
For what stands the "---" or "" ...? Could I select what dselect display
me? or what? 

When dselect goes to the dependeces screen, what should I done there??
Should I select all packages?,  with which button I come out?

Thanks
