That sounds plausible, but how do you know that? I was curious since
the "standard system" option apparently is new in the etch installer,
and previously I was used to not selecting anything from the tasksel
dialog. Anyway, brute experimentation shows the following 73 packages
are installed iff the "standard system" option is selected:
at libidn11 perl-modules
bc libisc11 pidentd
bind9-host libkrb53 policycoreutils
dc liblockfile1 portmap
dictionaries-common liblwres9 procmail
dnsutils libmagic1 python
doc-debian libnfsidmap2 python-central
doc-linux-text libpcre3 python-minimal
exim4 librpcsecgss3 python-newt
exim4-base libsemanage1 python-selinux
exim4-config libtasn1-3-bin python-semanage
exim4-daemon-light lsof python-support
file m4 reportbug
finger mailx selinux-policy-refpolicy-target
ftp mime-support sharutils
gettext-base mpack strace
iamerican mtools tcsh
ibritish mtr-tiny telnet
ispell mutt texinfo
less ncurses-term time
libbind9-0 nfs-common w3m
libdns22 openssh-client wamerican
libevent1 patch whois
libgc1c2 pciutils
libgpmg1 perl
I think this looks like the what you'd get with a minimal install in
previous debian stables. It's nice to have the option for an even
minimaler minimal install now.
