Sorry, netinsts are special - they only contain the installer and the base system and a *very* limited set of extra packages that are hand-configured. The base system will end up overlapping a little with Priority: standard (the 43 you've seen). That's all. You still get a basic useful system with a netinst only, but it won't have all of "Standard" included. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Further comment on how I feel about IBM will appear once I've worked out whether they're being malicious or incompetent.
