In select mode, you will not only see all available packages, sortable by priority, but it will also auto-select all packages with priorites required, important, or standard. This is the easiest way to get to a system with all the usual things installed. > I'm looking for : cvs, gcc, ld, man, info, vi/vim/emacs > > any suggestions in which packages i can find them ?? The packages are called: cvs, gcc, ld, man-db, info, nvi, vim, emacs20. As you can see, the package names are pretty straight-forward, and searching the package list (in dselect, or with "apt-cache search") will usually work. I recommend getting .../dists/woody/Contents-hurd-i386.gz from your nearest Debian mirror. This is a list of files with their corresponding packages. > By the way : I can't stop ping using ^C, ^D, ^Z. Is this normal ?? It works for me, but others have reported that, too. I can't remember the exact discussion, you may want to search the list archives. -- Robbe
