Hi - I have a work laptop with Windows and since it tracks basically everything I do, I'd like to install Squeeze to a 2 GB usb stick I have laying around so I can boot to that instead of the internal hdd for personal use. I plan on doing the Expert Install and was wondering if there is advice on recommended packages other than the base system for my given circumstances? Here's what I was thinking of installing in addition to the base system:
-GParted -gedit -Iceweasel -Synaptic Package Manager -Update Manager -Network Manager (or wicd) -A few things under Preferences like Appearance, Screensaver, Power Management Am I silly to think I'll be able to do this on 2 GB? The laptop has 4 GB RAM so I'm not worried about swap space. Thank you for any input. Mark
