Re: [Fwd: List of default installed files]
Hello again!
Thanks for the reply.
The reason I asked about a list of packages is because I'm pretty new to
Debian, and to Linux,
and I simply didn't want to download&install packages that I don't need.
The list devided into required, followed by important, and then by standard
etc. might provide the answer .
When one installs a new system, dselect (ftp) proposes him to download a range
of packs in these categories,
and it's a good idea.
I hope your script will provide the answer. Attach it, will you?
A newbie question: How to run the/a script, just to type the name at script's
path?
Thanks again.
