Wasn't gcc installed in the same type of woody configuration? I
believe it was. (At least, if you ran dselect after the install, and
allowed it to do what it wanted).
But I, too, seem to recall that woody was about 100MB (or was that
before dselect?).
Could you send me a list of packages off list? dpkg --get-selections
or some such; I'm curious about what's installed and what might be
different.
