Well actually I have started over so many times I enjoy using aptitude. 
I'm not exactly proud of the fact that 4 months ago I tried to install Debian without 
reading the manual, it was part of my education.

After the base install and saying no thanks to adding extra software I run  ~# apt-get 
install mc  and ~# apt-get install aptitude
I just used aptitude to find the right package that you mentioned above and then 
install it.

The built in editor in mc caused me some trouble but I love the mc Midnight Commander 
file manager so much I inadvertently try to fire it up at a dos prompt at my M$ 
workplace.

What I was hoping for was a way of finishing the base installation with the 2.4 
kernel. 

Thanks Everyone
Dan Hunt
