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? -- Chuck Hast To paraphrase my flight instructor; "the only dumb question is the one you DID NOT ask resulting in my going out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of torn and twisted metal."
