Hello, with 'Lite' I mean if I run 'install.bat' or 'deselect' that I have not to choose from around 2700 packages. I will make it simpel because I am in creation of 'InterLUGfG' which means 'International Linux User Group for Girls' in Strasbourg.
And I like to make a CD with the minimum for learning and fast installation. I have downloaded StarOffice and it is around 75 MByte. And yes, the licences... There is a problem with the source-codes but I can put it on a second CD The Licence for StarOffice is checked already with SUN. ;-)) Oh yes, I like to make preselect the deselect for the packages so new users should choose 'Complete installation' and thats all. I have ALL availlable HowTo's in english, german, french and italien. Ther are some dotzend MBytes... Oh yes, I think I must look at http://www.linuxberg.com/ for some useful programs and possible some easy to use Servers (all in one solutions). And then, I have the 4-CD-Set of Debian 2.1 Slink and the girls in my group are gone confused with all the packages. I think 'cheapbytes' will be the same as my 4 CD's Thanks for your answer Michelle At 02:59 22.09.1999 -0700, you wrote --------> This was the original Message: MK>Heh, 'lite' and {KDE, StarOffice, Netscape, GIMP} do not seem to be words MK>that I would associate... :) KDE takes up much space and depends on qt, MK>netscape, well, I don't know what it takes, StarOffice seems to take over MK>141 megs on my system, the installer is 80 megs, GIMP depends on gtk...
