dselect.... missing the obvious?

["Chris Brown" <CBROWN@seitz.com>]

Hello again and thanks for all the help this debian-newbie is getting!

I've done several (custom) installs of slink using dselect, and each 
time I waste a bunch of time searching for certain packages I 
want....  for instance ntp, sendmail, snmp, pine, joe

I am getting a little more familiar with the organization of the 
packages but it seems I must be doing it the difficult way, manually 
searching through the entire list!

I know about the re-order list options, but there must be a way to 
search the package list for a keyword, package name or catagory, 
how do I do this?

Second, once I have a "favorite" base system, can I integrate that 
into the dselect program for future installs?

TIA,
Chris
