What's the smallest someone on the list has installed, and what's the
easiest way to go about doing it?
I needed a WLAN Router 3 weeks ago, and didn't want to start with a new
distro (I really like debian).
I did the standard install (basedebs only), and removed portmap, NFS, lpr,
gcc and the like, added only wireless tools and shorewall. That way I
brought it down to ~200 MB (which would fit on a 256 MB CF-Card), and I'm
sure it would be possible to even get under 100 MB (delete /usr/share/doc
etc).
