Yes, it does. > 1. No 2. No 3. Maby I was using bad english. What I meant was the nVidia graphicsdriver and those stuff that is only useful to Xorg but is a dependecy for the generic-kernel because it is a kernel module.
This is not what I experienced when installing it. My installation was ~650MB after the installation, with a generic-kernel and I didn't get a choise to install the server-kernel during the installation. I also have some laptop-specific packages installed such as wpasuplicant and wireless-tools that is dependencies to ubuntu-minimal but does not belong in a server enviroment. And if I look into the kernel config there is more stuff that is laptop/desktop-specific, like CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY (if that isn't used for UPSes but I don't believe so), CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK and cardbus/pcmcia/pccard and irda/bluetooth. Maby neccesay in some servers, but I doubt it common. To Ante Karamatić, do you really think it's helpful to shout for a lot of false statements and don't describe what you mean? You don't think I'm lying, do you? To Soren Hansen, if the serverinstallation was 350MB with a server-kernel as standard this discussion about shrinking it shouldn't have started, don't you think? // Anders -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
