What I did with all my Debian installs was download the floppy images for Debian Potato at first, then do a network install for the rest using the testing sources. The floppies I think I used were the rescue,root, and the four drivers floppies. The base was installed over the network. Then, when the system rebooted, before I went any further with the software selection, I changed to a different console, logged in as root, and changed the /etc/apt/sources.list file to have only these two lines: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free Then.... apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get install apache Then.... you have your webserver with the minimum amount of software downloaded. I wouldn't be surprised if the final install was less than 60 megs. On Wed, 2002-04-10 at 15:58, Scott Brown wrote: > > I think I've decided to go Debian. Next step is how to get a distro.
