Thanks Joost for that detailed mail. I've printed it out and I'm off to familiarise myself further with dselect. I was quite surprised though because a debian book I looked at online expressly said the opposite about dselect and apt-get. The book is in German "Debian GNU/Linux Anwenderhandbuch" by Frank Ronneburg. It's online, and it applies to slink and potato. It sounds like good advice to upgrade to potato first and then take the next step. Thanks again, Marcus
