This could be the easiest way to reform debian, any newcomer could be
given the opportunity to install through apt-get and part of the three
iso images. The difficulties and enormous choices with dselect could be
left for the more advanced users.
Personally I would like as a newbie that programs like Netscape with
spellchecking included could be downloaded through one choice.
