This sounds like a 'good idea'. It would be nice to extract just the packages needed to make a mini Debian that can be squeezed on a CD with other stuff (see my email to debian-users about creating a CD for Magazines). Is there enough interest in doing this? I guess we need a mailing list and people with enough hard disk space and Debian experience to experiment. (I have none of this but I am happy to help anyway I can). Let's be clever and call it Debian-lite :-). Please email me if 1) You are intrested in *using* such a (free) product. 2) You can help or have already done some work on this approach. If this is already a work in progress please let me know. If there is enough interest I will see about setting up an infrastructure.
