Hello...
I've been following the thread on dselect, and... I'm pretty much
new to Debian, so I don't feel yet comfortable suggesting...
Anyway - for those who find dselect to be non-intuitive: did you try
console-apt? I don't know if there are any problems with it, but...
- It has a nice help screen (that I found to be much more helpful
- thatn dselect's - although that's just an opinion);
- If you hit <tab> on a package, you see all its dependencies;
- It lets you go back to the previous state with a keystroke;
- You may choose the order in which packages are shown;
- Package status is shown using colors;
- It shows progress in a very nice way, and lets you play a
ascii-based tetris-like game while you wait.
Well... that's it.
I just installed it, and found it to be really nice.
J.
