I agree with that. But most users want to bootstrap their system to be able to do everything immediately. Then tasksel is rather necessary. And once aptitude goes for dselect, it'll be even better. The reason I never run them at the start is simply because it's faster to bring a base system up to meet the requirements of a server's or a workstation's task (dpkg --set-selections is one), than to strip a complete system down to the bare essentials. And I never have more than the bare essentials on my systems... -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than to fix a system
