Where do I find the easy way through to a min install??


I was thinking on this very issue this am, while out for my post-dawn stroll.

I sometimes want to build an appliance, typically a server with one fuction, maybe a backup server, a print server, a firewall, or just a basic Linux system to help rescue a broken Windows.


I generally use Debian for the purpose because
1. The installer will run (or did last time I had such a small machine) in 64 Mbytes.
2. It only needs about 4-500 Mbytes of disk.
3. There's an enormous array of software in its repo, over 18500 at last count. 4. It supports almost any hardware I can find: I've run it on Sun Sparc64, oldworld Powermacs (and could have run it on my Mac Classic if I had the mind) I've just downloaded 3 DVD images )I got a little carried away) which I intend to run on my virtual mainframe.

I'd quite like to be able to use Fedora, but until I can create a very small install image on a small system, that's impractical.
