I'd like to install xorg, but only with the video drivers that I need. I'm
doing a net install.
I do it by trial and error, but usually I start from the things I know I
need for sure.
xserver-xorg-video-intel (replace with your driver)
xserver-xorg-vesa (just for backup)
xserver-xorg-input-k

Then, I go to the xorg meta-package. I scroll down to the things it
depends on and I select them manually, and I dig down into the
dependancies and adjust things. For example, somewhere there a package
will depend on _either_ an -all package or a device-specific package.
Left on its own, it will

Here's how I do it:
First, I use aptitude interactively. If you haven't used aptitude
before, then that's a separate project to do first.
I'd like to install xorg, but only with the video drivers that I need. I'm
doing a net install.
A query on the Debian IRC yielded "painfully, without using the meta package
that pulls them in".
Maybe there's a HOWTO somewhere out there that somebody can direct me to.
