Assuming you use dselect, it'll automatically select any Standard priority packages. Personally, for secure installs, I start by doing a bare minimal install (just the packages in base2_2.tgz) and then apt-get install any other packages on an as-needed basis. After the one machine is properly installed, you could clone the drive with tar, drive image, ghost, etc. Another alternative to cloning would be to set up a local task package that depended on the exact set of packages you wanted to install. e.g., task-myserver could depend on postfix, proftpd, boa, etc. 'apt-get install task-myserver' would then be able to install any of the depending packages automatically. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
