The file contains a longish description of each package, including priority, type (editor, shell, x11, etc). I copied this package to hard disk, and wrote a perl script that would print on each line the name, the priority, the type, and length.

Re: [Fwd: List of default installed files]
Hello again! Thanks for the reply. The reason I asked about a list of packages is because I'm pretty new to Debian, and to Linux, and I simply didn't want to downloadinstall packages that I don't need. The list devided into required, followed by important, and then by standard etc. might provide the answer . When one installs a new system, dselect (ftp) proposes him to download a range of packs in these categories, and it's a good idea. I hope your script will provide the answer. Attach it, will you? A newbie question: How to run the/a script, just to type the name at script's path? Thanks again.

[Fwd: List of default installed files]
A good point. Being pretty new, I've been looking for a list of Important, Standard, Optional and Extra packages. When I've been installing the new beta dselect suggested on my first attempt to ftp the packs to download only limited ranges of packages. My connection failed, but it's still a good idea, in my opinion, for a newbie, to meet limited number of packs, explore them, start relying on their work and then DL more packs that he might be missing. Maybe anybody can point me to the list of packages in these ranges(base, important, standard...)? Sasha.
