Re: what is "standard" installation?



Hi,

The Standard System in debian is defined as:
  - all "required" packages
  - all "important" packages, and
  - all "standard" packages.

It does -not- include (but you are welcome to install some of them anyway):
  - any "optional" packages, or
  - any "extra" packages.

As versions come and go, things are moved around, added or removed. Check
the package list in dselect or look at the packages files directly to find
out what is where in the particular version of debian you installed (or are
thinking about installing) on your computer.

-Jim
