Re: dselect

[FreeMan <c-3@gmx.net>]

I think my list isn't as long as you think. There are just 7 pages - 
that's all and I just can't find Samba. As I already told, it seems to 
there are only packages displaied, which are already installed.
I already tried the search function but after typing in "samba", I just 
hear a short beep and the cursor jumps back to the begining of the 
list.
What do I have to do, to see all available packages?
