Very nice. Did these packages all configure without problems and
"difficult" questions to answer?
Here are some ideas for the remaining 72 Mb:
The supposed audience for Debian-{Lite,Desktop,MagazineCover,Whatever}
will probably want X (and giving them fvwm2-95 isn't such a bad idea
either.)
Would including only the vga-16, s3 and svga servers do? I figure these
cover 95% of the market of new computers. If people have a different card
they can run vga-16 and grab a better server when they are on the net.
Speaking about the net, how about including dunc? It takes most of the
work (and possible mistakes) out of the hands of the starter.
