tasksel just selects packages for apt to install -- once it's started downloading stuff, it's just running apt. it's pretty much always safe to kill an apt download. next time you fire up apt, it'll keep going from where it left off. You can either just apt get install something new, or run "apt-get -f install" to "fix" what's broken (I think that's what the f stands for :) Conrad. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
