New debian-installation - question

["Hans-J. Ullrich" <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Hi list,

just some simple questions: I am going to create a small installations cd from 
an already installed system (with my own settings). As I want it small and 
secure, I do not want any logfiles on this cd. I am using bootcdwrite. So my 
questions:

1.Can I use an empty /var/log/ or is it necessary, that some logfiles already 
exist?

2. Same question to /var/run, /var/cache and /var/spool/: Can they be empty at 
first boot?

3. Last question (maybe stupid): Can /var be empty at all or are there any 
directories, which MUST exist at very first boot?

I am looking forward to your answers.

Best regards

Hans
