You probably let it install all packages of standard priority; the standard Debian system is aout that size. This is not a bug in the debian installer, it's arguably either a bug in the standard debian system for being excessivly large, or with debian policy for requiring that the standard system be installed by default. If you don't want all that, then don't choose to install it: In the task selector do not install any tasks. If you do not select manual package selection either, it will install no additional software beyond the base system that is installed by debootstrap (with a few exceptions). If you _do_ select manual package selection, aptitude will probably default to adding all standard priority software, but you can tell it not to. FWIW, the feature that lets you skip installing the standard system was added after the release of rc3 of the installer. With the exception of woody, which had a bug, every debian release, and every d-i release has always installed the standard system by default. -- see shy jo
