I don't think this is serious, but whenever dselect's helper
programs (I use dpkg-ftp) access the list of installed packages,
one of the lists is missing something. How do I correct this
error:
Processing status file...
Odd number of elements in hash list at /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/install line
I've a friend who is installing debian and he asked me to ask these questions..
why does the perl package depend on csh?
why does 'libc-dev' have a conflicting dependency with 'libc5' ?? It won't
let him install libc5-dev for some odd reasion.

I disagree. The default kernel need not contain anything that isn't necessary
to boot. This means floppy, minix, and ramdisk drivers. Ide might be useful;
this should (imho) be loadable as a m

It does. Raid1 is in development. It does partial mirroring using about 1/3rd
of the disk space for 'backup' data.
