Welcome to dselect's main package listing.
![](/@@/translation-newline)
You will be presented with a list of packages which are installed or available
![](/@@/translation-newline)
for installation. You can navigate around the list using the cursor keys,
![](/@@/translation-newline)
mark packages for installation (using `+') or deinstallation (using `-').
![](/@@/translation-newline)
Packages can be marked either singly or in groups; initially you will see that
![](/@@/translation-newline)
the line `All packages' is selected. `+', `-' and so on will affect all the
![](/@@/translation-newline)
packages described by the highlighted line.
![](/@@/translation-newline)
Some of your choices will cause conflicts or dependency problems; you will be
![](/@@/translation-newline)
given a sub-list of the relevant packages, so that you can solve the problems.
![](/@@/translation-newline)
You should read the list of keys and the explanations of the display.

any time for help.
