Hello Joey,

Please can you explain this ?

The Baseinstall of woody can be found in:

<ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/base-images-current/basedebs.tar>

it is 27 MBytes and contain 101 packages and extracted it
is 64 MByte on an ext3 filesystem with blocks of 2 kByte.

The SARGE debian-installer installs by default around zwice
as much packages which use 190 MByte of diskspace

OK, it installs additional locales and some other nice tools
FOR WORKSTATIONS, but they are not needed for SERVERS and can
not be deselected in the debian-installer.

Which mean, I can not make a fresh install SARGE on one of my
Servers because it installs bullshit and a dist-upgrade sucks
most of the packages too.

I have tried it already...

And it is not possibel for me, to backup some 100 GBytes of
data via Internet. So SARGE is USELESS for server upgrades.

Greetings
Michelle
