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. :) - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------- http://linux.conf.au/ -- Ye shall be cursed to fall in love so easily, and yet be so cold of heart as never to express it. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
