The package cvs? Yes I do. > Sounds like something not related to the installation system. I do not know what you mean for installation system problem: aptitude is the default package handler used by the installation process; it has showed this problem about the selection of cvs; I do not know if it is due to erroneous downloaded informations or to other things. What I can say about the installation procedutre is: 1. the autoconfiguration of the computer for the download was ok (except XP failure...) 2. I selected in the "task selection" (formerly) the items "Desktop application" (or something like that) and "Select single applications" (or something like that). 3. aptitude started, after some dowloads, and I tried to select "gcc" 4. then I de-selected "gcc" which disappeared from the entrire list (!) as well as "cvs" which was the most important package I have to install on this computer 5. I had to close aptitude and to finish the installation procedure; 6. in order to achieve my targets I had to log as root and to use dselect which worked fine...
