I just download the installer packages and look up (by using dpkg-deb --info package_name) what do they depend on... Then I may or maty not use them for actuall install. All of those packages should have their own web-page under http://www.debian.org (follow the link for packages), and there it is clearly stated which libs are required. Just my 2 cents... HTH damir
