New setup.exe 2.3 - how to select what to install?

["Andrej Borsenkow" <Andrej dot Borsenkow at mow dot siemens dot ru>]

I am not sure how to use new version-selection feature.

I said "install from internet". After I connected to mirror and downloaded
setup.ini I got a screen that looked like:

20000823-1 -> Keep ash
... like this for all other packages)
    @ 20000823-1 ash
    ... (like this for all packages)

where @ is this character I have to click. Of course, version numbers were
specific for each package. Clicking on @ sign changed version number to
"Skip".

Leaving everything as above, I clicked on "Next". It downloaded two updated
packages (ash and inetutils) and started to install *everything* I had in my
local directory (that is, everything from latest and contrib).

So, the questions are

- can I see, what package version is currently installed? And what version(s)
is(are) currently available on server?

- what does "Keep" mean? With my English I understand it as "keep installed
version".

- why it reinstalled everything? And where do I select which version to
install (assuming, more than one is available)?

Have a nice DOS!
