IIRC, Kent is using hamm, and therefore probably doesn't have apt-get yet.
And, last I heard, he doesn't have his dial-up working on the Linux side
yet.
Kent, once you get a bit more grounded in Linux, this apt-get method that
Jesse suggests will become your friend. However, for now, I think I'd
recommend sticking to the dselect method. No use in adding yet another
learning task to your already quite-full plate :-)
