Upgrading to woody would probably be a good idea but I don't think it would solve your problem. You seem to be having trouble running dselect (as many people do since the interface is confusing).
Thanks for the tips. It'll try them.I guess I have been programmed by years of computer use to think that the escape key means "I don't want to do this" or "I want to go back to the previous screen" and the return key means "yes pick this one". In short return means drill down escape means go back. Running into a program which requires you to re-learn all of that takes some time. I do find their command keys unintuitive (or at least contrary to current programming) and puzzling but I am not complaining or anything :).
