Yep. --select and --noreplace both record the package specified in the |
| 24 |
world file. The difference is you use --noreplace when the package |
| 25 |
specified is already installed, this prevents it from being reinstalled |
| 26 |
(it will record it in the world file without reinstalling the package.) |

If you know you want to keep it (as in: have --oneshot as a default |
| 29 |
option) and you use --select, it will record it in the world file and |
| 30 |
install the package. |
