why is sarge "minimal" intall so huge compared to woody?
Hi.
I got used to deploy woody servers by doing a net install and not
selecting any kind of task (in the menu where one chooses "desktop",
"web server", "file server", "development", blabla, I would let
everything blank). I would then just apt-get what I wanted (samba, or
dhcpd, or...)
This is what I'm refering as "minimal install". In woody I would have a
minimal install around 100MB or so (I would have about 70-80MB in /usr).
Same thing in sarge will get me about 300MB in /usr only.. I see I get
things like gcc right "out-of-the-box", that are increasing this
"minimal install" size... Was there a reason for this increase of
packages in the minimal install or it just happened to stay this way
because ? Anyone knows?
Just wondering...
