When doing my version of a minimalist install, I use a lines
similar to:
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard
d-i pkgsel/include string mate-desktop-environment-core xorg
xterm lightdm pluma synaptic gparted
After browsing the man pages for aptitude and apt-get I was
wonder if I could come closer to my goal with fewer experimental
iterations if I could disable the installation of "recommended"
packages.
I envision something *SIMILAR* to:
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard
d-i pkgsel/include string mate-desktop-environment pluma synaptic
gparted
TIA
