dselect, removed necessary packages accidently
I went into dselect to try and add packages that it suggested. In doing so I came to the 'Remove' option and ran that. I watched before my eyes as my system removed all the necessary packages that I need and use. I now seem to have a bare system that doesn't understand many commands. I've tried to go back into dselect to re-install everything but now 'apt' has disappeared from my 'access' methods. I can't seem to find any help on the net for this unfortunate situation I find myself. I've also tried using the 'cdrom' as my 'access' option but I can't seem to get that to work (keeps asking for a 'block device name'). I'm in serious trouble with this now. I really need my system back up and running but none of my services (ssh, apache, cups) will run or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
