Hi Sovello

Thanks for the tip ... though I do remember looking at this program but it
is a GUI program which doesn't help too much when you have a server
installation without a GUI setup :-(

As an aside, besides the security issues of installing lots of unnecessary
stuff, I try to advise people not to do a full desktop installation,
particularly in low bandwidth situations ... keeping your packages up to
date becomes much more bandwidth intensive when you have dozens of extra
packages, many of which can be quite large.   Best to try and keep mean and
lean.

Making an iso image from installed packages "by hand" is really not very
difficult ... google dpkg-scanpackages will give you a few links.

Cheers
Bob
