[00:03] <maxb> atari314: OK, so the issue is that standard is not a configurable task, it's implicitly force-selected for installation on all new installs
[00:04] <atari314> :(
[00:06] <atari314> just asking, is it possible to make the minimal, download all it force us to download... then remove  the ubuntu-standard meta-package recursively?
[00:45] <atari314> ok, bad news
[00:45] <atari314> natty "minimal" install now stands for 800+ mb...
[00:45] <atari314> definetely a lot more than the 85mb of the ubuntu-minimal + 100mb of the kernel....
[00:47] <maxb> uh?
[00:47] <maxb> ok, I get 709MB here
[00:48] <maxb> Which admittedly is still quite a lot
[00:51] <atari314> do you know any way to apt-get remove * except A, B, C packages? (I guess that's not even possible)
[01:53] <atari314> reinstaled, on a 7.1 gb partition formated as ext4 (taking about 180mb for the partition format) the total size is 805mb (i386)
[01:56] <atari314> xorg eats +68.6 mb
[01:57] <atari314> if i'm able to remove the extra packages I believe I can fit it all on 200mb
[02:30] <atari314> 52.9 mb firefox without recommended and 83.5 chromium without recommended... 300mb tops with a working browser.
[02:38] <atari314> +65.4mb for chromium if firefox is already installed
[02:43] <atari314> ok... "minimal-install"+xorg+jwm+firefox+chromium+ext4 IndexFiles(for 7.1gb)=996mb
[02:43] <atari314> not what I wanted but enough to fit a 1gb flashdrive
[02:47] <atari314> 53(firefox4)+66(chromium11)+69(xorg)= 188mb, not bad at all
[10:33] <CIA-7> debian-installer: cjwatson * r1441 ubuntu/ (build/config/common debian/changelog debian/rules): Set default suite to oneiric.
[10:38] <CIA-7> debian-installer: cjwatson * r1442 ubuntu/ (5 files in 2 dirs): Move to 2.6.39-1 kernels.
[11:58] <davmor2> cjwatson: feature request for the next round of wubi work (A restricted extras button, like in the installer if possible)
[12:02] <cjwatson> davmor2: best file a bug, it'll be a while until I'm working on wubi again
[12:02] <cjwatson> (and I've never worked on its Windows UI at all)
[12:03] <davmor2> cjwatson: will do only clocked it installing for my mom as she is sick of windows7 issues and she couldn't access iplayer and threw a paddy :)
