I have touched on this in another post but here is a fuller answer: A netinst image is about 300M. The vendor has sold you a DVD. There is a lot of wasted space if it only holds that image. You haven't responded to the question asking for image identification of the disk. We will assume it is DVD-1. This image contains mutt and ImageMagick. That is why you are being told it "'should' have". Why you think it doesn't is a mystery. > I hope for further responses from people who have _answers_, although I'll > try to > respond to questions of significance. To repeat: I want to know how to > install > SW that I need from off the thumb drive(aka USB stick) You have had responses from people who have answers. None of them appear to meet your "significance" criterion. Repeating your question again is unlikely to produce better answers. Responding to a mail or two might get you further on.
