bare bones Debian install
I have read into some of the complexity in the docs in Debian on the install procedure.
Is there any guiding light on what is required for a bare bones install.
I have read in maybe the wikipedia that the einstein behind Debian has put in place every thing imaginable for any particular Machine.
is that true, is the install real top heavy ?.
And i was wondering, after the install if there is any way to detect the programs that are not needed.
I do see that there is a un-install GUI be for thought put in place in other OS`s and i assume there is one in Debian.
I just like to know where i am going in the forest before i get there.
thanks
i am studying Linux and bash with YDL in a iBook G4 that is questionable as to wether it will boot the next time. graphics card is damaged and there seems to be some dependencies on the graphics card for ? i saw in a log file.
I plan to install Debian into a HP mini Notebook.
so the G4 is the learning lab.

apt-cudf-get
APT-CUDF-GET(8) DOSE Tools APT-CUDF-GET(8)
NAME
apt-cudf-get - wrapper for calling apt-get with external solvers
SYNOPSIS
apt-cudf-get [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
apt-cudf-get is a wrapper that allows to invoke apt-get with external solvers while ignoring apt's pinning.
All options are passed on to apt-get.
Normally, apt uses so-called pinning to select a candidate version of a package in case there are several versions available. This also
holds when calling apt-get with external solvers. However, when it is not possible to find a solution under this constraint, it may be
useful to relax pinning and to allow the external solver to choose among all available versions of packages in order to satisfy
dependencies, not only those that are selected by the pinning. This is precisely what apt-cudf-get does.
Note that, when using an external solver, the proposed solution may contain any available version of the packages that are given as
arguments to install on the command line without specifying a version qualifier.
For example
apt-cudf-get --solver aspcud install ocaml
may propose to install any available version of ocaml, while
apt-cudf-get --solver aspcud install ocaml=4.01.0
will only propose to install ocaml in version 4.01.0

BUGS
Not all types of arguements to apt are correctly treated by this wrapper, in particular not the +pkg and -pkg shorthands for installation
and removal requests.
