I generally use dselect, not understanding the apt-* system (not for

Sorry, there seems to be a density barrier there as of right now.
Maybe in a year I'll understand it...)
As far as non-command-line goes, I prefer aptitude.
No problem: I decided just to go to KDE.ORG and download the debs.
So I'd *really* like to go back and find some way to be able to
simply "dselect" KDE 3.04. Not to mention, I'll be able to better
see what the packages are, avoid conflicts, and such.
Anyone know how to do this? I suspect it has something to do with
sources, but to be able to set my sources on my own, I have to know
(1) how to find out what is out there, (2) how to set my sources to
that without destroying my old sources (and creating problems for
other installed packages) (3) how to link that with dselect, should
that be a problem.
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, add new deb lines, update.
