As quoted from the Godfather's "Debian Tips" page located at:

http://www.linuxmafia.com/debian/tips

"Surviving "dselect":  dselect is a software package-selection and 
configuration tool, liked by a few, detested by many, and due to be
replaced soon.  During Debian installation, you will briefly encounter
it but need not ever use it thereafter, post-installation.  (Better
tools are available, e.g., apt-get, dpkg.)"

dselect is what f#@$'d me up the most, I had tried to use it after getting my
base installed, since it does front end the package list.

I've learned after getting things cleaned up that using apt-get along with the
Debian package in a browser and just being able to calle them by name is much
more helpful.
