+
+Next you will be offered a number of pre-rolled software
+configurations offered by Debian. You could always choose, package by
+package, what you want to install on your new machine.  This is the
+purpose of the <command>aptitude</command> program, described below.
+But this can be a long task with around &num-of-distrib-pkgs; packages
+available in Debian!
+
+</para><para>
+
+So, you have the ability to choose <emphasis>tasks</emphasis> first,
+and then add on more individual packages later.  These tasks loosely
+represent a number of different jobs or things you want to do with
+your computer, such as <quote>desktop environment</quote>,
+<quote>web server</quote>, or <quote>print server</quote>.
+
+<footnote>
+<para>
+
+You should know that to present this list,
+<command>base-config</command> is merely invoking the
+<command>tasksel</command> program.  For manual package
+selection, the
+<command>aptitude</command> program is being run.  Any of these can be
+run at any time after installation to install (or remove) more
+packages.  If you are looking for a specific single package, after
+installation is complete, simply run <userinput>apt-get install
+<replaceable>package</replaceable></userinput>, where
+<replaceable>package</replaceable> is the name of the package you are
+looking for.
+</para>
+</footnote>
+
+</para><para>
+
+If you do want to choose what to install on a package by package basis,
+select the <quote>manual package selection</quote> in
+<command>tasksel</command>.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Once you've selected your tasks, select
+<guibutton>Ok</guibutton>. At this point,
+<command>aptitude</command> will install the packages you've
+selected. Note, even if you did not select any tasks at all, any standard,
+important, or required priority packages that are not yet present on
+your system will be installed.  This functionality is the same as
+running <userinput>tasksel -s</userinput> at the command line, and
+currently involves
+a download of about 37M of archives. You will be shown the number of
+packages to be installed, and how many kilobytes of packages, if any,
+need to be downloaded.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Of the &num-of-distrib-pkgs; packages available in Debian, only
+a small minority are covered by tasks offered in the Task Installer.
+To see information on more packages, either use <userinput>apt-cache
+search <replaceable>search-string</replaceable></userinput> for some
+given search string (see the <citerefentry>
+<refentrytitle>apt-cache</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
+</citerefentry> man page), or run
+<command>aptitude</command> as described below.

+ <title>Advanced Package Selection with <command>aptitude</command></title>
+
+<para>
+
+<command>Aptitude</command> is a modern program for managing
+packages. <command>aptitude</command> allows you to
+select individual packages, set of packages matching given criteria
+(for advanced users), or whole tasks.
