no-pain minimum install



Hi, 

How can I do a minimum Debian system installation, which will have all
my peripheral configured, including the X and the monitor.

Previously, I was always having trouble to get a minimum working system. I
have to choose "Desktop system" in order for X and the monitor configured
properly. But this setting leech too many packages than I really need, the
next thing after installation I would remove them one by one. 

I'm glad that current Debian AMD64 release's "Desktop system" doesn't have
much excessive packages, but the problem is that I don't have X either.
It was a painful experience to get it working, but after reboot, my X
won't start any more -- the whole system will freeze up.

Somebody please help. Thanks a lot.
