Dennis a million thanks - i just checked and sure enough dselect defaults to the /stable directories - no doubt you are entirely correct !!!
surely many of the /stable packages are the same as the frozen dist and so i do not wish to download yet again everything (8-10 hours MINIMUM). are you aware of method by which i can ask dselect to remake the default choices and only download new packages and upgrade existing - i assume this would be substantially quicker ?? if i have downloaded, essentially, the bo distribution will autoup do this ??? thanks again for your help Ivan.
