[Tfug] Limited Installation

Wed Jun 8 12:16:54 MST 2005

The entire base system install of Debian is only ~250MB.  You can even 
download the mini-CD images which include the installer plus base 
system.  I do it here at the Museum on my machines and it works great.  
We're lucky if we have 384kbps :)

(See the "netinst CD image (100 Mb)" -- the "businesscard CD image (50 
Mb)" is without the base system if I remember correctly)
