I am trying to understand how to use dselect to install packages. When I start 
dselect and select the "select" option, the list I get looks like there are 
many packages that will be installed - for example, all of the required 
packages.

Since these have already been installed (as part of the initial install of the 
OS), how to I tell dselect that I only want to install a particular package (in 
this case XFree86). It looks to me that if I run dselect the way it apprears 
that all of the packages marked for installation will be installed, including 
the one I want installed. Is this true? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for you help.
