Last I checked, the netinst installer pulled all packages from the network and basically just contains d-i and configuration files. It may contain enough .debs to prepare a very minimal system, but it certainly won't have X11 or any other nice-to-have packages. I only recommend the netinst to users that are likely to have Internet while d-i is running. That's most users now since many types of connections are supported from within d-i. But, the OP specifically mentioned that they would likely not have Internet during the d-i run. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
