Excuse my ignorance, but has anyone setup a minimal Debian system (like the 9 base floppies) just to run [EMAIL PROTECTED] The reason I'm asking is that I've only got a ~450 MB hard disk that I got for free.

I've tried this before, but I didn't have the correct libs to run it. And, I couldn't figure out what I needed to get with apt, so I put it aside until I had more time (plus I was in an accident and couldn't).

Sooo... Now that I'm at it again,

Under the notes here <http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unix.html> It says:

 "Previous users of the v1.3 binary i386-pc-linux-gnulibc1
  binary should now be using the i386-pc-linux-gnulibc1-static binary."

And, in available versions listing below it, I see:

i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1
i386-pc-linux-gnulibc1-static


Now, I have the base system installed (Just the 9 floppies; don't want to mess with dselect, I'd like to stick with apt to get what I need).

What libs (the package names) do I need to run this thing? I tried looking here <http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/libs/>, but, admittedly, I have no clue what I'm doing.

I'm guessing I either already have them and did something wrong, or it's because I have a bar bones system and they usually get installed as a 'depends' with something larger.

Anyone? :-)

Brian
