Re: Alternative to dselect?
When i installed debian slink last week all i did was select the
"preselected packages" for a normal computer with gcc, X and those things.
What is so hard about that?
And when i wanted to install something.. like aumix, i just ran apt-get
install aumix from the cdrom.
I do not realy see the hardness in those things..
For a beginner who do not know a bit on unix programs.. those
"preselected" things are probably the best thing.
Go ahead and ask a windows geek if he/she would prefer windowmaker or
afterstep.. you wont get a good answere :)
So, as a pretty normal beginner on linux, i would say that it's not that
hard to install debian, the information is just a bit badly written
(slink).
I did not see that preselected things after a few tries :)
