Re: Smaller?

[Bob Lindell <bob@jensar.us>]

I have a shell script I wrote to compute the transitive closure of  
package dependencies.  On my alpha, running Debian Sarge, I computed  
the transitive closure of the packages marked essential along with:

aboot
kernel-image-2.4.27-2-generic
klogd
logrotate
apt

That yielded 68 packages.  Using the Installed-Size field of the 68  
packages, I calculated 122784.  It looks like the Installed-Size  
field in packages is in KB, so that is about 119MB.

I can send you the list of packages if you are interested.
