I chose a command line install. Pressed F4 to select it from the boot menu.
hmm I just read the mailing list thread but I feel I have no options since I am unable to specify the parameter that would ask apt(debian-installer) to not install the recommended dependancies. Is there any way that the debian-installer can be told *not* to install recommends yet apt is configured to install recommends by default? I think having a minimal system is important for a lot of people and yes we can always simply remove the unwanted packages but there will always be cruft left behind(in /etc ?) which is highly unwanted. 2008/10/13 Brian Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Beginning with Intrepid recommends are now installed by default by apt. > There was an announcement to the Ubuntu development mailing list about > this - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- > devel/2008-June/025529.html<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-June/025529.html>. > What type of installation did you choose > with the alternate CD?
