I know this isn't an answer to your question, but my recommendation would be to try aptitude. It's much easier to use (at least for me) than dselect, and doesn't always want to install suggested packages (unless you tell it to). -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
