As the name suggests, its a minimal install...the live cd is less than 300 megs but the beauty of it is that you can tailor it precisely to your own requirements....all the software you are going to need is easily accessed via synaptic using the very comprehensive repositories. There are also a couple of very useful items in the utilities folder for installing graphics drivers and you can make a live cd from your configuration which will mirror it. regards, Steve -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
