Re: question regarding post-installed packages

    Dear Hans, 😁
    
    
    thanks again for your help.

    Alas that doesn´t seem to be the case. 
    
    As an example I post-installed the fish-shell and the respective
    entry simply is:
    
    fish                                            install
    
    , so basically like all the other entries as well.
    
    But your suggestion of making two files - one after the initial OS
    setup and then another one after having done my post-installs - and
    then 
    comparing these two files really makes sense. Thanks for pointing
    that out.
    
    Thanks also for your personal suggestion referring to a minimal
    install which is very good indeed and seems to be best suited for my
    purposes.
    
    Your help is highly appreciated; thanks so much again.  😁
    
    Many greetings 
    Rosika
