Clarification of my immediate goal:
Using the ISO of DVD1 I wish to install Debian with "recommends"
disabled during the installation process.
I can't give you an authoritative answer for this one, sorry.
The purpose is to determine if I want to do future installs debootstrap.
I attempted to use debootstrap a few years ago and understand it
will take some time/effort to learn it.
Once you actually start customizing your installs, a combo of debootstrap
and an apt cache is unbeatable, Yes, there's some slope to take, but the
view from up there is magnific :-)
