As I recall dselect will, by default, select all important and
standard packages for installation. You should start off by
deselecting all these packages by pressing "-" at the lines
----- New Important packages -----
and
----- New Standard packages ------
That ought to be possible, as the simple base system is, itself,
complete. The carefully build up what you really do need.
I've done a debain install onto a 120MB disk, with 30MB swap, so I
only had 90MB of space (70MB / and 20MB /var) (/usr, /home were to be
mounted NFS). First time I selected too many files, ran out of disk
space and dselect broke down badly. I had to restart from scratch, but
the second time I selected even less files and everything worked fine.
It certainly should be possible to do. 100MB is a respectable amount
of space!
Hope that helps,
Graeme
