I think that the basic thing is to install first the base only and then
stop dselect and start it again for installing Xwin. After that you can
probably install easily other packages. (Basically you can install any
number of packages at once, but it seems, that dselect isn't able to know
beforehand all the selected packages and so the order of installing the
packages is a problem...(?)) That method worked in my case at least.
Anyway, I've got some problems left with my system. dselect didn't install
correctly Imagemagick. It was shown as being installed, but it wasn't
there. I used dpkg -i to install it at installed, but still it doesn't
work...
Anyone knows, what to do with this?

I've got a finnish keyboard as well. It works ok. Maybe something special
with your keyboard... Did you specify it at installing time as fi-latin1
or did you try to 'kbdconfig' it afterwards?
