Dselect is a very powerful tool, but is really hard to understand. I went through more than 5 debian installs before I felt reasonably comfortable with it. To address that, a new tools is being developed; it will have interfaces for both the console and for X, and is supposedly easier to understand; but it will only be available on debian 2.1. Dselect will continue to be available to those who want it. > I think I can get over the changes in how the /etc/rc.d/ startup > scripts behaviour as compared to Red Hat linux [...] There's a standard that defines how this stuff should be organised; it's the sucessor of the FSSTND 1.2, don't remember the name of it (check the debian web site). Debian up to version 2.0 complies with the FSSTND 1.2; debian 2.1 will be compliant with the newer standard, and I think that's closer to the way RedHat does things.
