Yeah, I never really cared for dselect, myself.

aptitude works nicely with the mouse in an xterm.  Never log in as
root, especially to X, KDE, Gnome, etc.  I suggest using the command
su -m in your favorite terminal program to get root from a normal user
account, as this will put fewer processes with unrestricted, unlimited
access.
