Let me guess.. you installed all of the packages the first time you ran
dselect. That got me a couple of times.

OK; now just install the packages you want, a couple at a time.

The problem isn't in the CD; the install utility doesn't quite catch all
the dependencies the first time through. If you re-run the install part
of dselect a couple of times, everything should get installed.
(The only time that this didn't work for me was when perl died on me, and
some parts of dselect didn't work.)
