dselect

[ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)]

Hi,

 I've got some (newbie) questions about dselect.
 
 1) Is it merely a frontend for dpkg or is it used for other tasks as well?

 2) Do I've to use '=' (Hold) for all packages at the beginning of the
    installation (and may be everytime I use dselect) in order to use
    dselect without hazzle? I've got several brokenly installed packages
    after removing and adding some programs without doing this.

 3) Everytime I want to add another package deselect seems to check ALL
    packages and writes something like 'skipping deselected package ...'.
    Is there a way of installing just the desired package?
 
 4) Now onto the last one ;)
    Does dselect check if there's enough space left on the hd prior to
    installation?

Thanks in advance,

 Ulf
