Jeremy,
Simply run tasksel from the command line and deselect the Desktop
option. I would then run apt-get autoremove to get rid of dependent
packages that are no longer needed.
cheers,
ski

In the installer on Debian I accidently pressed Enter when I wanted to

After installation is there any simple way to deinstall all the extra
packages? I only want the core packages installed.
I need to remove near 1000 packages. Maybe reinstalling would be easier,
but I'd like to learn if there is a simple Debian / apt way.
Thanks
