Any help in the right direct is appreciated. the easiest way: apt-get install grep-dctrl and then do something like: grep-aptavail -F Essential yes -o -F Priority required -s Package or grep-aptavail -F Essential yes -o -F Priority required -o \ -F Priority standard -s Package depending on what it is exactly that you want (the fine manpage has more info). if you want all the packages part of a basic debian installation, the second one is probably closer. alternatively, you could run the installer, not select any software, and then run "dpkg -l" from the cmdline :) sean
