This is one of the main reasons I like Debian - the flexibility one has in choosing what to install (no desktop at all in my case, just Icewm). Like you, I use a minimal install and then add packages as required. I make a list of all the packages I have on my existing system and use that to remind me of what I will probably use in the new one. -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk Microsoft-free zone - Using Debian GNU/Linux http://www.acampbell.org.uk - sample my ebooks at http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/acampbell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
