It shouldn't be. The kernel cmdline is the starting element of every Linux boot. The kernel may go by various names in different environments and distros, but it's still the Linux kernel that originates from the kernel.org project whether named linux or vmlinuz-numericalgobbledegook or some random string (here, every most recently installed kernel prior to first use acquires two symlinks: /boot/vmlinuz, and /boot/vmlinuz-cur). > By editing > the "Install" item in the netinst menu, I can change: > linux /install.amd/vmlinuz vga=788 --- quiet > ...to this, all on one line: > linux /install.amd/vmlinuz vga=788 --- tasks=standard > base-installer/install-recommends=false > Is that going to result in a minimum installation? Other than the .amd part, it's what happens here. It should for you too. :-) A n00b might rather leave off base-installer/install-recommends=false. I don't think I've ever tried it that way. I'd be leery of something from Gnome getting installed. ;-) -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
