I'm setting up a new computer. I've installed Debian before, but it has never gone completely smoothly, i.e. with a minimum of commands typed, and zero steps re-done. I have a set of CDs.
This time I'd like to install base system, X-windows, and Gnome, but *not* KDE. It seems to me that using dselect to select just a few gnome packages should pull in all the packages that I need. What is the minimal set of packages to select to get it all by way of dependencies? Second, more general question: the dependency links in debian form a directed graph. Presumably, it is acyclic. That implies that the graph contains root, interior and leaf nodes. Is their some program which displays just the root nodes? It would be useful answering my first question.
