You have to take the good with the bad. It would be nice to have a perfect
linux distribution but it will never happen. I think all in all Debian is
doing a super job. They're on top of things for the most part. If it's
broke they'll fix it PDQ. Once they know about it.
I'm bad about informing about bugs. If I can fix it myself I usually never
report it. I guess I should.
You can install groups in dselect also. Just select the line that describes
the group and mark it for install or hold. Generally the normal install is
already marked for install.
