I don't recall just when I
did it but I had tried including "install-recommends=false" somewhere in
the command line. It failed.
I start most installations with Grub. Nearly always I start with a minimal
installation. On the linu lines in these files is:
base-installer/install-recommends=false
I tried that this morning.
I did *NOT* get the desired result.
I got all the "recommended" packages of MATE Desktop Environment.
Just as if I hadn't specified otherwise on the installer command line :{
Dunno what to tell you. Maybe that's because I always include also
tasks=standard
I only add a desktop after first boot into the fresh minimal installation.
What other command line options did you use?
