I would like to be able to look at the lists of packages in those
screens, even if only for the curiosity of what the installation
authors think should be in the several collections of packages.
Even with a fresh install, I couldn't get a script. If I leave
dselect after it starts in the initial boot up to start a script,
that screen never appears again, if memory serves. You say thse
parts of the script are deleted?
Aside: In defence of dselect, my last install went well, and I do
mean well -- a zero floppy CD install, and almost no conflict
negotiation, in spite of my not using apt. I used the admin
collection of packages. Previous installs have been classic dselect
newbie struggles. Debian is coming along really well! (Or maybe I
am finding paths that are easier;)
