Debian Linux Server
How can I install debian as server without even base system i mean without packets like "wget".
I just want to be able to manually install wget throught command apt-get install wget i don't want those 200 packages preinstalled. Why ? I don't want packages which i don't really use on server... Those are packages installed by default : Code:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/HoldI'm maybe using 10 of them like cron wget passwd nano linux-kernel gcc-4.4-base iptables adduser bash aptitude dpkg ifupdown? . I was installing server from debian-installer buisness card 50 mb CD-room http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and it installed even without my permissions those base packages^: |
I don't believe you can get any leaner than just the base system. And yes, they're essential.
|
I agree. These packages are indeed essential to get a running system. That is, not the Polish language packages, I think you added them yourself or someone messed up. Things like the coreutils and libc6, both of which you didn't include, are effectively the key packages in a Linux system. Without them, nothing works...
Given your question, I wonder how wise it is for you to administer a server online: you clearly lack some basic knowledge here... :-\ |
But i don't think that i need packages like python-minimal or perl do I?
I don't know exacly how is the structure in debian that's why i want to learn some things about it ... |
In which case I suggest to start here: http://www.debian.org/doc/

P.S.: There might be distributions with smaller "base systems" (I'm thinking the likes of Crux, Arch Linux). |
Up i don't see them on live-cd of debian testing:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/sq...d.iso.packages there are only 150 packages there not 200 like in normal installation. Dutch there are many things there but not neccesarly that what i'm looking for :-) |

Just because you do not need or use a certain package doesn't mean it isn't needed by other packages on your system. apt-rdepends packagename will show all of the reverse depends of a package, why worry about the amount of packages installed? Unless you are using Debian on an embedded system where space is limited. |
