deboostrap with less than 400Mb installation?

Xeratul · 05-06-2017, 02:31 PM

Hello,

Would you know a way to install only few packages of debian, without installing a minbase system of more than 450 mb?

I would be interested to have only few packages, and not much more to have <100-200mb installation.

Thank you for your inputs

It might be possible.

Your best options would be to use Debian's 32-bit oldstable branch (pre-systemd), and the ext2 filesystem with a 1024 block size. The minbase option with only the kernel and grub added will get you an install size of around 220 MiB
