What I'm looking for would be more along the idea of a functional
inventory.
I gather that what's on the CD is effectively a very minimal command
line oriented install. I've some un-baked [i.e. not even half baked]
ideas of what I'd want in a super lean install. It would help me get
my head sorted out to read a description of netinst.
Then again as my last computing course was prior to 1965 (remember
CORC and CUPL ;), I may have a lot to unlearn.
The netinst isn't to give you a super-lean install. It's there to give
you the basics to get connected to the Internet to download the packages
you need.
If you want a lean install, just install the basic system. Don't choose
any of the bits that give extra services or even a desktop. This is
pretty lean. It gives you a box that can connect to a network.
