When Tod Detre wrote, I replied: Are you using apt as your access method? I've started using this and specifying a list of sites to use for access and am delighted with the results. I recently ran dselafter not having done so for an extended period. I downloaded something (I forget just what) and dselect automatically brought down ~25-30 applications which had been upgraded since last I ran dselect. It took several re-starts to get the required packages (my ISP hangs up after six hours) but other than restarting ppp (which I could let diald or something handle weere I a bit less paranoid) and hitting <RETURN> a few times in dselect, things went swimmingly.
