Re: XF86Setup on Debian2.0 - help
The dselect screen is divided in three parts
the top part is the one u describe with the list of packages, as your cursor
moves thru each item is highlited.
the b lue line in the middle gives u the status of the package highlited,
i.e whether it is on your system and whether it is install. It also tells u
your selection (i.e. if u want it installed) and your previous choices (i.e.
if it was a purge or what)
the bottom part gives you a description of the package highlited
hope it helps.
