I recently set up = my first system running Debian and have a few questions: 1. How can the dselect program be used effectively with speakup? I run = it and I get to the point where it looks like I'm supposed to be able to = choose packages; However, if I arrow around, Speakup doesn't seem to = track. All it says is "description" after each press of any arrow key. = Am I missing something basic here? The reason I was playing with dselect in the first place was to insure = a telnet server is installed and functional. if I can't do this with = dselect what's the best way? Also, any pointers to good Debian faqs would be much appreciated. thanks, --al
