Couldn't we just fix debootstra? Of course this would also work, but there is no reason for pcmcia-cs to be in base. > IMHO, at least mbr, lilo, pcmcia-cs, and ipchains don't need to > install at base-installer stage. I have never quite understood why mbr is installed as part of base. Note that lilo-installer does not apt-install lilo, so it would need to be changed to do so before adding lilo to such an exclude list. Don't see any reason to install ipchains by default. -- see shy jo
