A couple of those led me to disable recommends completely. It seems
I'm a freak monster or sometning ;-@
Is there a way to totally disable recommends when installing Debian?
I wish to set up a machine for experimenting to find out what I
really want. Long long term I am considering using debootstrap to
install a extremely customized system.
I have this in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95no-recommends:
APT::Install-Recommends no:
If I understand correctly, I need to add
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95no-recommends to the ISO of the installer's DVD1.
When doing debootstrap, I usually tweak /etc/apt after having set up the
base system and before installing packages (other things which go there
are, e.g. the setup of an apt proxy/cache). Either manually, when tinkering
or via a script.
Clarification of my immediate goal:
Using the ISO of DVD1 I wish to install Debian with "recommends"
disabled during the installation process.
The purpose is to determine if I want to do future installs debootstrap.
I attempted to use debootstrap a few years ago and understand it will
take some time/effort to learn it.
TIA
