RE: Installation: tasksel

["John Purser" <jmpurser2@home.com>]

I'll try that next time I re-install.  I installed Potato last time and
tasksel worked fine.  The problem is I need Woody to stay current with a
volunteer project I'm working on.

BTW Potato didn't recognize my network cards either.  I think I'll install
Red Hat 7.1 next to see if it does.  I noticed that I didn't get to
configure devices in Woody either so maybe that was the problem.

Are you sure you said yes to tasksel?

If you say no to tasksel and no to dselect, you'll get nothing installed
and that's by design.

If you really said yes to tasksel though, all I can think is that
tasksel might have crashed or something like that.

We can probably find out how you answered if you show me the output of
this command:

debconf-show base-config | egrep tasksel\|dselect
