| Please define ``bare minimum''. | | At which point in the installation process is it reached? Okay, from the CD go through the install process, select some tasks or packages, etc. Then finish up to the point were it tells you it's going to reboot. Fine, do that. Next, after boot up, when you get to the part using dselect to install packages, change the Access to point at "ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free". Then, run the Update packages, to get new lists of the potato packages. You'll probably see some packages are no longer available, etc. You'll have to play with the select process for awhile to eliminate all of the dependency issues (if any). Then run "Install" and go to bed. You'll probably have to run the "Install" a few times before you get everything right.
After putting of upgrading my potato for the last few weeks do to Perl, libc6 probs, I upgraded yesterday, and all went well (except an errant kde package). -- Eric G. Miller Powered by the POTATO (http://www.debian.org)!
