First, sorry for the little spam, I have not sent mail to everyone but only to those people I think are interested. I'm an old attached user of Slackware, Free, Net and Open BSD and my interest is specially in old hardware. I recently downloaded Debian from your main mirror becouse I'm very in feel with its philosophy and I wanted to try out its quality. To reach my target, i have downloaded many many files in many directories and thought alot on how to put them togheter. At the end no problem but how hard it was and how many time it taken me with my 56K modem. I thought at the reasons why i love so much Slack and FreeBSD, power and ease of download and install. So i think Debian should have a more complete 'base system' with networking support and compilers, all enclosed in few light directories, becouse research and downloads of files and directories with hundreds of files, also for building a little base system with networking and compilers only, take too much time for people who love old hardware and use analogical modems, and they are the most, at least for connection, all over the World. So the lack of a light, easy to download, full functional base system is felt and is in my opinion that the development of that kind of distibution method will make well to the diffusion and popularity of Debian.
Sincerly
