This section has covered the basics of package installation using dselect. If the

help screens are read every time dselect is used, a slowly growing understanding

of the additional features of dselect will be the result. Try something new

each time you use it and you will eventually move from being a novice user of

dselect to having a well rounded knowledge of its many powerful features. Just

remember to take it slow and be sure that you understand the consequences of

your actions before you take them. With care and patience dselect can become

one of the formidable weapons in your arsenal of Debian Package Management

Tools.
