YIKES! Don't do THAT! You will spend so much time in the conflict
resolution screen that you will NEVER figure out what to do!
You might take a close look at the packages marked IMPORTANT first.
Select which of these you want. SOme packages will conflict, you want
EITHER cnews or INN not both, same with email, you want EITHER smail,
exim, qmail, sendmail but not ALL of them.
You are just going to have to go down the list and decide which packages
you want, when you select one that depends on another or conflicts with
another, it will through you into the conflict resolution area (penalty
box is my favorite term) and you get to sort it out there. If you select
ALL, there are going to be so many conflicts and cross-dependancies that
it is like sorting out a ball of snakes.
