[2] APT

[Phillip Neumann <filsin@bigfoot.com>]

Hi,


Well i will go for changing my installed packages to hold. So i could get gnome. But
after installing gnome, i will change again all tha option for the installed
packages, so isntr there a way to work only 1 time, and not 2?? (can i save the
configuration of dselect somewhere and after doing things load it??)
