Of course, you haven't installed stretch but have installed stretch
plus a load of other things. It shouldn't make any difference but its
instructive to get back to the bare minimum.

al fact (at least, I hope it is interesting!) is
that prior to Debian 6.x.x the standard utilities were obtained over
the internet or from a local mirror. The impression which David Wright
gained from the name "netinst" would have been correct on lenny.

The mini.iso is functionally equivalent to netbooting d-i. Using it is
no more complicated than using a netinst iso. and non-free firmware can
be put on the medium.

This issue is simply a bug and there is nothing flagged up in the Guide

software in Debian that, if desired, can produce PDF/A files. The
possible disk usage of 700MB may not be of concern.

printing process and hasn't for ten years. Its part in processing a file
through the filtering system has been taken by PDF.
Granted, a printer whose *PPD* stipulates PostScript will be given it,

and PWG raster and PDF, whic will be fine when CUPS ceases to support
PPDs in a couple of years.
