Just network stuff

[Chuck Hast <wchast@gmail.com>]

I took all of my collection of Debian CD's and attempted to set up a machine
to do just network, and particularly IP/AX25/FPAC/ROSE/NetRom/other
networking goodies, seems that even good old debian decided to add a
lot of stuff that I do not think I need for such a machine.

I was thinking that there was a set of special install or small install scripts
that you could select from at boot time, but I only found the "compact"
entry, but when I ran dselect, it proceeded to install a boatload of stuff that
I do not think i need (BIFF?!?!) I am not interested in this thing doing e-mail
or web stuff (it installed apache and I do not recall selecting that one at
any time)

Beyond the ax25-howto is there a good guide as to what all to allow the
installer to install and not install?
