After getting advice from Christian Leutloff, Aachen, Germany [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oche.de/~leutloff/
I have had another go at my minimalist installation with some success. Instead of using get-selections and put-selections I simply made my own Packages.gz and then ran dselect in the usual way on my own cut down mirror. Running dselect was a breeze and only two packages (smail and gpm) required any input at all. If anyone wants to build on this work, the following files are available from ftp://oak.scotch.wa.edu.au/pub/debian/lite. -rw-r--r-- 1 allen allen 5827 Aug 15 08:42 Packages.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 allen allen 1428 Aug 15 07:33 ls-lR.gz -rwxr--r-- 1 allen allen 197 Aug 14 21:37 scanpack* ls-lR is a listing of my cut down mirror and scanpack is a script that makes Packages.gz. That site has a low bandwidth link so please avoid using it during business hours on weekdays.
