It would be nice to have a tcl/tk program as an extention to dselect. 
Once you have installed your system you could run the tcl/tk program to
either add/remove packages or to configure existing packages.

This could be tied in to the existing documentation about each package
allowing the user to know what the possible configurations are (and what
will happen if they change them).

I would feel that this sort of tool would be invaluable for the novice
user of Linux and would help convince others to switch to Linux.
