RE: How to get a list of minimal Potato packages
Greetings,
There is a file called basecont.txt that is in the
\debian\dists\potato\main\disks-i386\2.2.23-2001-04-15 directory of any
debian mirror that has a list of the base contents. I may be wrong, but it
seems to me that this is not, however, what you have described as the
minimal install. I think that once you go in and out of dselect, it will
add additional packages. The only way to know for sure it to try. I may
do just that later on today (time permitting). I'll copy the file at the
end.
HTH,
Brooks
