How to get a list of minimal Potato packages

2001-08-23 Thread KenrickC
As far as I can tell, the most minimal Potato install occurs when selecting the 'advanced' install option, and then quitting dselect without installing anything. What I want to know is, is there any easy way of telling what packages are installed at that point? Unfortunately I don't have the
