The range listed there should be for dynamic IP addresses. If you want
192.168.0.2, .3, .4, etc for your permanently connected machines, then
change the range to "range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.20;" Don't put
192.168.0.1 in the range because that's your Router's IP address, and
don't assign it to any other computers on your network either.

If ^^ is the Linux MAC address, you can take that out. You don't need
dhcp to give its own machine an IP address since you set that on bootup
with the /etc/network/interfaces.

The DNS server is correct. Your Windows computer needs to know what DNS
server to use so that when you type www.google.com it can translate that
to the dotted IP address. If you're not running a DNS server on your
Linux box, you definately need to route that through to 24.205.1.62.

And, unfortunately, this is beyond my scope as well. I'm new to this
too. My only guess here is try a "apt-get clean"
As far as I know, it shouldn't be a problem to install "too much"
through dselect, unless you're ignoring dependencies.
If anyone else can help here, please do! =]
