If the packages that should be installed first are the ones that have their 'Priority' control field set to 'required' then you can find them all with my package finder tool. I guess dselect also selects them all.
The finders current location (subject to change) is http://house.cs.tut.fi/~hessu/debian/ . Search for string 'required' and select only the 'Priority' pushbutton. When you submit the query you will get a listing of all the required packages. The 'Priority' button is also a link to a small extract from the Debian Policy Manual that explains what are the values that 'Priority' can have. > Is there any document on which package should be installed first? > I just got a development CD from I-connect and I seemed to have > a hard time to install the packages from the CDROM.
