Apt Package Installation
If you did not choose to install X, then the previous anXious screens never
happened. Either way the next activity is the installation of packages. After
some clicks and whirs, apt get will check for dependencies caused by the
choices you made from the task selection screen. After assuring itself that all

which allows configuration information to be gathered before it is needed by
the package installation. Once you have answered all the questions in this
phase, you might expect the rest of the installation to proceed without your
assistance.
Only one example will be presented here. The number of additional configura
