I concur, but I would claim that the percentage is larger by factors than the 1% you quote. But especially new users prefer not to be dumped into aptitude with its 10'000 packages before even getting a chance to log in and get a bit of a feel for their new Debian system. In the courses I taught, people were always very grateful when I showed them the philosophy behind a minimal install and an install-on-demand policy afterwards. I just find it very sad that sarge does not continue along the lines. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
