Hmm. Given that the important stuff would already be on there... You're
pretty much free to go. With Debian, I honestly find the install to be a
waste of time... Do a tasks install, throw on the basic tasks you need, and
get out quick. All of the fun is post-install anyway, so you may as well get
out whilst you can. ;)

In your position though, I doubt it would have installed 80megs of really
useful stuff straight off. Time to do some convincing.

What sort of machine are you building? If you're building a desktop, apt-get
install gnome-games will set up X, GNOME, all of that stuff in one fell
swoop.

A server? Just install the bits you need now. That's one of the cool things
about Debian. Very modular, so you can pick and choose, and it does most of
the work for you.


I think your need to 'recover' from the installation comes from your
experience with other distros. :)
