since i saved the output from "dpkg --get-selections" from the
previous install before reformatting the hard drive, i understood that
i could do a bare-bones install, then use "dpkg --set-selections" to
reproduce the package selection and install.

  so, just for fun, i deselected every selection in the package groups
list, and now i'm being asked about where i want to install LILO.
why?  if you choose to do a minimal install, is grub somehow
considered too fancy or optional?  that's just weird.  would selecting
one of those choices give me the grub option back again?
