Hello all,
Since most half a year I am following any Debian list
since I was using a Debian 1.3.1 dist. Difficulties
came up immediately after having installed debians main
packages and adding X packages for getting my X
running. Nice dream I had. Bad reality reveals. It's
one BIG problem installing any package; i.e. the
netscape one: it required some engl. version 3.x of it.
Problem: no more available. Finally i got it from
anywhere out of hell... Then installation failed. Why ?
I do not know this. But discussing with others we
conluded that at least the dselect-'utility' isn't too
strong in effectivity. (It seems to be a order problem
even if checking dependencies) So now my answer to your
question: Unfortunately it is obvious to me (and
others) that beside the dselect-tool the x-tools need
some help, too. It isn't too comfortable to be useful
installing X, unfortunately.
