can i skip the step software selection when installing linux ?
hello after it says this can i uncheck all of the softwares like this picture :
http://mikeoverip.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/86.png because if i select the 2 desktop environment and standard system it takes years to download them can how can i uncheck them to directly boot linux ? my net is slow and takes days to finish downloading these 2 softwares i read this comment: can i try it: Found this solution to make a very small Debian Install, maybe it will save some Mb's to? install the base system, that means when it comes to the package selection uncheck all the packages(standard and desktop) after the reboot, there won't be a gui yet login as root apt-get install xorg gdm synaptic fluxbox emelfm leafpad dillo reboot select fluxbox from the session menu <important login open synaptic and get what ever else you want, emelfm is a filemanager leafpad is a text editor dillo is a small web browser Haven't tested this, found it while looking around if there is a Puppy Linux PPC distro and remembered your post about fluxbox . Someone is trying to port Puppy Linux to PPC/Mac but no real progress besides an early beta from a while back if someone wants to know. Looks like that person has quit his project. Too bad, Arcade Puppy would be fun to run |

I recommend you use debootstrap: From Linux Without CD , but yes you should be able to not install anyting.

You would probably benefit from downloading a more specialized kernel.
