Hi, Emil,emil wrote:Is there a way to have debian packages auto trimmed at installation with apt(zero size files added)?
If there would be a dedicated server one could also set up a trimmed repo.
then it would be a baby debian (or "babian"?).
I am very curious about the "making of" report you mentioned, looking forward to read it!

I'm sure it is possible. Not for me but for someone with skills like yours or JBV and others. I also think this extra repo work not worth the efforts. The packages will be installed in uncompresed format (in save file or in ram). Like in FoxyRoxy it will be enough to run zerosize script after installing them inside the save file or before make compressed snapshot. It is a matter of single click to run the script.
I understand there will be interst about the creation of this iso. I will try to make it good enough with pictures and proper explanaition as a post here or in different topic may be.
I wander what can be done in this direction with wheezy. Sickgut was working on this lately. Hope soon we will have him back.
