"Standard" installation - problem with definition and/or interpretation.
<quote> You will do a standard installation, that is, you will install only
the minimum environment. </quote>
I have been given this instruction and am having problems interpretting it,
since The Debian site says (a propos of Sarge, but the course material was
written some years ago):
<quote> In a default Debian 3.1 standard installation you will end up with
OpenSSH, Exim (depending on how you configured it) and the RPC portmapper
available as network services[4]. If you did not go through a standard
installation but selected an expert installation you can end up with no
active network services. </quote>
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch3.en.html
section 3.6
So the Debian site distinguishes between "standard" and "expert". But our
instructions continue:
<quote> When you start the installation from the selected media, choose the
expert mode and follow the steps until the end of the process. </quote>
In other words, standard and expert are the same thing. Help!!!
