Re: Secure/hardened/minimal Debian (or "Why is the base system the way it is?")

I suppose since my install is so small this would be possible (just create
a bootable floppy that runs a script which uses dd to dump to the disk). 

The problem I have now is that Ghost 2002 does not image ext3 correctly
(so after imaging, I have to convert the filesystems to ext3 again).
Supposedly this is fixed in their corporate version, but we don't quite
need that large-scale of a solution yet either.
