Package: Debian Installation CD
Recently I installed lenny and chose the first option Default Desktop PC
environment.
The essential packages gcc, make and linux kernel sources were missing.
Forgotten in lenny?
As a result I was not readily able to set up video accelleration and Virtual
box, only after extensive googleing
for several h I found out how to install the Kernel source.
Expected behavior:
make and C and C++ are essential packages which are part of standard
Unix/Linux installations.
They are required by software during installation or at runtime.
For example embedded C/C++ in Perl or Python or Java are compiled at Runtime.
Since one can not expect from a standard user to know exactly what a compiler
is, these packages belong to the
standard equipment of a computer system (with the exception of Windows).
A Debian PC should be able to install Linux software out of the box.
However, for experts there could be an advanced option to not install these
packages to save the HD space.
Please include standard tools for software installation!
Many thanks
Christoph
