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 :

Do I really need them all ?
I'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 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 ...

Even if you don't use a program directly (i.e. you are not a perl/python programmer) some utilities which you Do use (or some utilities which are used by the utilities you use, etc.) might need python-minimal and perl. The "base" system is called that way for a reason.
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 :-)

"You" may not directly need these packages, but other packages that you do need may depend on them. You can check this type of thing with:
Code:
apt-cache showpkg python-minimal
to see the reverse-depends: ie packages that depend on python-minimal.
