Happy? Press Enter to exit the Select process. You can come back and run
Select again if you wish.

Install

dselect runs through the entire set of packages and installs those
selected. Expect to be asked to make decisions as you go. It is often
useful to switch to a different shell to compare, say, an old
configuration with a new one. If the old file is conf.modules, the new one
will be conf.modules.dpkg-dist.

The screen scrolls past fairly quickly on a fast machine. You can stop and
start it with Ctrl-s and Ctrl-q, respectively, and at the end of the run,
you will get a list of any uninstalled packages.

It can happen that a package does not get installed because it depends on
some other package that is listed for installation but is not yet
installed. The answer here is to run Install again. Cases have been
reported where it was necessary to run it four times before everything
slipped into place. This will vary by your acquisition method.

Configure

Most packages get configured in step 3, but anything left hanging can be
configured here.
