Hi,
I want to install just a minimum on my machine ( small Disk < 512M ), but running X, for example JVM or fluxbox.
When I tried apt-install xserver-xorg,* it install extra packages I am sure don't need and took big space.


I want the minimum and required package, can I have a list please ?

I've done it with DSL and Puppy, It is fine, But I want pure debian distro

thanks a lot

Look at the xorg package's dependencies and it's dependencies' dependencies
and select whatever you think you need from there.

My approach has been to install only the xserver-xorg-video-foo package
I need (together with -input-kbd and -input-mouse). Aside from this you
will only need some xfonts.
