Wouldn't it be a brilliant idea if someone came up with an Essential
Debian ISO image, containing only the absolute minimum files necessary
to have a working apt-get/dselect system, (e.g. the boot image,
base*tgz, drivers.tgz)? Low-bandwidth folks can burn the mini-ISO
(~30MB) image to CDRW or a mini CDR and just apt-get the .debs they
really need (which for most people should be under 300MB)
