Re: minimal system



 Please, don't threat with the microstuffit :-)
 Concerning your not very specific question here is my rule of Thumb: 
 No matter how large your HD is you will end up filling it. 
 
 seriously, you may want look at the Debian FAQ revamped recently (great 
 job!) under any debian mirror in /doc/FAQ/ or in 
 http://sgk.phast.umass.edu/FAQ/debian-faq.html

 Shortly, Yes. You can have more that a reasonable Debian installation 
 with X and TeX and Emacs and "reasonable" space for home directories 
 within 120MB + swap.

can anyone advise a new debian user on a scenario in which a useable
system can be installed on a 120 meg hard drive with a 20 meg swap
on another disk? If I can't use it for much then it seems that I would 
be better off going back to microstuffit- not all bad but........
