When in doubt, you can stick with the defaults in the simple package selection option. You can always add or remove packages later. Keep in mind as well that you're installing Woody, which is the old stable release. You're probably going to want to upgrade to sarge at least, and possibly etch or sid, soon after installing. The less you install now, the less painful the upgrade will be. -- Michael A. Marsh http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~mmarsh http://mamarsh.blogspot.com
