Hi ... Thanks to all the guys who answered my last question, in resume ... you say that it's not a good idea, (installing everything) since there are more than one program for some tasks and then, they can conflict each other. Besides, there are a lot of packages.
Ok ... so, I was used to the fact that, my system just have one program for the main tasks. If debian has more than one option, I'd like to ask again, a couple of things: a) If I'm not wrong, the programs can conflict each other, just in the case of simultaneous usage. For example, they can compete for the same directory, the same TCP port, etc. But what could be wrong, if I install all the programs for the same tasks, and just "activate" one of them by configuration. (and maybe, also configure the others to desactivate them). b) Aprox., How much disk space will be requiered to install ALL the packages??? I want to install all the packages, just because I like having the program already installed, in the moment I need them ... maybe I install some programs that never will be used, but it doesn´t matter for me, I prefer that to loose some time downloading, maybe compiling and installing the program. One posible trouble could be, that in the case it's posible, installing everything also means configuring everything, at least, it seems things are this way in the installation process. It'd be cool to have an option that configure just the "indispensable" for the system to survive, and permit configuring the rest "optional" things later. Or maybe, force the default configuration, but in the case of servers, don´t add them to the rc.?, just let them for later(posible) activation. Thanks again ... seya saludos dario estepario ... ps: I´ve already tried selecting all the groups in the "simple" installation option. However, not all the packages were installed, just to mention some of the missing: vim, pine, netscape, mtools, etc. Things like these don't conflict each other, do they? I want to install EVERYTHING, even if they are not freeware. It doesn't matter the category they belongs. ------------------------------------------------- Obtén tu correo en www.correo.unam.mx UNAMonos Comunicándonos
