For dselect just park the cursor on (usually if I remember correctly) the last package before the description and that will be the one they are talking about. Aptitude tracks much better. Also, apt-cache search and apt-get install will help you greatly. As a side note, ssh is to be preferred over a telnet server. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.
