RE: Installing packages without manpages and docs
IIRC Slink minimum install is circa 30 MB
Would it be worth a try installing minimal Slink first,
then apt-get upgrade;apt-get dist-upgrade ?

Subject: Installing packages without manpages and docs
Hi,
I am using Debian on a bunch of servers with a minimal install. The
barebone install is about 80 MB for potato and I'd like to reduce it
even more.
Is there any way to make apt-get stop installing packages' man pages
and documentation? I never actually tried that, but would symlinking
/usr[/share]/{doc|man|info} to /dev/null do the job without disabling
apt updates?
I have docs and man pages on my personal work station, and having them
multiple times is a waste of disk and backup space.
Has anybody actually done something like that?
Greetings
Marc
