It helps to only look installed packages marked automatic but lots of system programs and libraries are marked as such. I'd expect a 'base' metapackage of some sort... ...which ties into the remark made a few times in this thread which is that there is no singular set of base packages. But then at least have tasksel do something like that. Admittedly I just don't know a lot about Debian packages but as a user I have the same concern as Victor. Sijmen
