debian tasksel revisited

[Keith Barrett]

Hi,

Still having some problems with my debian install.

As I am new to this and am not sure which packages I need, I opted to 
install the files for a desktop computer.

Now I find that the system boots in to x windows.

So my questions are should I have avoided tasksel completely and used 
another way of getting what I need, when I need it?

Also, there did not seem to be much added to the info tool which I am 
finding useful to get to know the system so can I update this in some 
way?

Also, I do not seem to be able to find fetchmail on the system which 
I believe I will need for retrieving mail by pop3

So, do I need to start with another install or can I get rid of all 
this graphical stuff?

Also, I am not certain that a command line browser has been installed 
I would like to know which one is good for a beginner with speakup?

Thanks


Keith
