It is particularly useful for first-time installations. Some users -might feel more comfortable using <code>aptitude</code> which is also -recommended over <code>dselect</code> for large-scale upgrades. For more -information on <code>aptitude</code> please see <a href="#s-aptitude">aptitude, -Section 7.1.3</a>. -</p> - -<p> -<code>dselect</code> can: -</p> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -guide the user as he/she chooses among packages to install or remove, ensuring -that no packages are installed that conflict with one another, and that all -packages required to make each package work properly are installed; -</p> -</li> -</ul> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -warn the user about inconsistencies or incompatibilities in their selections; -</p> -</li> -</ul> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -determine the order in which the packages must be installed; -</p> -</li> -</ul> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -automatically perform the installation or removal; and -</p> -</li> -</ul> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -guide the user through whatever configuration process are required for each -package. -</p> -</li> -</ul> - -<p> -<code>dselect</code> begins by presenting the user with a menu of 7 items, each -of which is a specific action. The user can select one of the actions by using -the arrow keys to move the highlighter bar, then pressing the -<em><enter></em> key to select the highlighted action. -</p> - -<p> -What the user sees next depends on the action he selected. If he selects any -option but <samp>Access</samp> or <samp>Select</samp>, then -<code>dselect</code> will simply proceed to execute the specified action: e.g., -if the user selected the action <samp>Remove</samp>, then dselect would proceed -to remove all of the files selected for removal when the user last chose the -<samp>Select</samp> action. -</p> - -<p> -Both the <samp>Access</samp> menu item and the <samp>Select</samp> menu item -lead to additional menus. In both cases, the menus are presented as split -screens; the top screen gives a scrollable list of choices, while the bottom -screen gives a brief explanation ("info") for each choice. -</p> - -<p> -Extensive on-line help is available, use the '?' key to get to a help screen -at any time. -</p> - -<p> -The order in which the actions are presented in the first <code>dselect</code> -menu represents the order in which a user would normally choose -<code>dselect</code> to install packages. However, a user can pick any of the -main menu choices as often as needed (including not at all, depending on what -one wants to do). -</p> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -Begin by choosing an <strong>Access Method</strong>. This is the method by -which the user plans on accessing Debian packages; e.g., some users have Debian -packages available on CD-ROM, while others plan to fetch them using anonymous -FTP. The selected "Access Method" is stored after -<code>dselect</code> exits, so if it does not change, then this option need not -be invoked again. -</p> -</li> -</ul> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -Then <strong>Update</strong> the list of available packages. To do this, -<code>dselect</code> reads the file "Packages.gz" which should be -included in the top level of the directory where the Debian packages to be -installed are stored. (But if it is not there, <code>dselect</code> will offer -to make it for you.) -</p> -</li> -</ul> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -<strong>Select</strong> specific packages for installation on his system. -After choosing this menu item, the user is first presented with a full screen -of help (unless the `--expert' command line option was used). Once the user -exits the Help screen, he sees the split-screen menu for choosing packages to -install (or remove). -</p> - -<p> -The top part of the screen is a relatively narrow window into the list of -Debian's 15400 packages; the bottom part of the screen contains description of -the package or group of packages which are highlighted above. -</p> - -<p> -One can specify which packages should be operated on by highlighting a package -name or the label for a group of packages. After that, you can select -packages: -</p> -<dl> -<dt>to be installed:</dt> -<dd> -<p> -This is accomplished by pressing the `+' key. -</p> -</dd> -</dl> -<dl> -<dt>to be deleted:</dt> -<dd> -<p> -Packages can be deleted two ways: -</p> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -removed: this removes most of the files associated with the package, but -preserves the files listed as configuration files (see <a -href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-conffile">What is a Debian conffile?, Section -6.5</a>) and package configuration information. This is done by pressing the -`-' key. -</p> -</li> -</ul> -<ul> -<li> -<p> -purged: this removes <em>every</em> file that is part of the package. This is -done by pressing the `_' key. -</p> -</li> -</ul> - -<p> -Note that it's not possible to remove "All Packages". If you try -that, your system will instead be reduced to the initial installed base -packages. -</p> -</dd> -</dl> -<dl> -<dt>to be put "on hold"</dt> -<dd> -<p> -This is done by pressing `=', and it effectively tells <code>dselect</code> not -to upgrade a package even if the version currently installed on your system is -not as recent as the version that is available in the Debian repository you are -using (this was specified when you set the <strong>Access Method</strong>, and -acquired when you used <strong>Update</strong>). -</p> - -<p> -Just like you can put a package on hold, you can reverse such setting by -pressing `:'. That tells <code>dselect</code> that the package(s) may be -upgraded if a newer version is available. This is the default setting. -</p> -</dd> -</dl> - -<p> -You can select a different order in which the packages are presented, by using -the `o' key to cycle between various options for sorting the packages. The -default order is to present packages by Priority; within each priority, -packages are presented in order of the directory (a.k.a. section) of the -archive in which they are stored. Given this sort order, some packages in -section A (say) may be presented first, followed by some packages in section B, -followed by more packages (of lower priority) in section A. -</p> - -<p> -You can also expand meanings of the labels at the top of the screen, by using -the `v' (verbose) key.

If you use <code>aptitude</code> (see <a -href="#s-aptitude">aptitude, Section 7.1.3</a>) as your package management tool -it will, however, track automatically installed packages and remove them when -no packages remain that need them in your system. -</p> - -<hr> - -<p> -[ <a href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html">previous</a> ] -[ <a href="index.en.html#contents">Contents</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-basic_defs.en.html">1</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-getting.en.html">2</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-compat.en.html">3</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-software.en.html">4</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html">5</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html">6</a> ] -[ 7 ] -[ <a href="ch-uptodate.en.html">8</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-kernel.en.html">9</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-customizing.en.html">10</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-support.en.html">11</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-contributing.en.html">12</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-redistrib.en.html">13</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-nexttime.en.html">14</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-faqinfo.en.html">15</a> ] -[ <a href="ch-uptodate.en.html">next</a> ] -</p> - -<hr> - -<p> -The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -</p> - -<address> -version 3.1.3, 25 April 2006<br> -<br> -Authors are listed at <a href="ch-faqinfo.en.html#s-authors">Debian FAQ Authors</a><br> -<br> -</address> -<hr> - -</body> - -</html> - |
