I've added blackbox in this way, but I'm still missing something.

I didn't set out to do this, but when I first ran dselect it
identified a surprising number of packages I'd missed in my (evidently
incomplete) initial installation.

I'm pretty sure I have this right, but if you'd send a sources.list
file by private mail I'd grateful for a known-good, current example.

Thanks. When I look over the notes I kept on the first go-round, the
changes and customizations aren't very extensive; most of the time I
spent went into learning what to do. I'm thinking I may start over
with a more direct net installation of woody, skipping potato
altogether.
Cheers,
