How about including the apps you need to make a minimal install in the core installation?

I don't even know what that means.

Thank you...

You're welcome.

Are you too bored to explain what you actually mean?

I meant: install the base system and THEN, install the apps you want. A minimal install, á la Arch or Debian expert install.

I still don't understand what you mean. That is what the core mode is all about.

Thanks anyway, gapan

OK, so you are too bored. In that case, I don't care.

Please don't assume you know my state of mind. The core installation is not the way to do a minimal installation.

After finishing the installation and rebooting, I updated and upgraded spi.
Installed xorg-server and tried to install icewm and menumaker but it failed; i got this error:
Needless to say, that was the end of the installation.

1. Shouldn't these missing packages be in the core installation? (with the exception of xorg)
2. I couldn't find a list of the packages in the core installation.
3. At the beginning of this thread i made the suggestion of putting all the packages (libraries and headers) you need to make a minimal installation as part of the "core installation" you kept repeating "you didn't understand what i meant"
It's not that I am bored, gapan; I was avoiding a confrontation with you and I failed.

^ Hi Bobo
Can you please write or paste what you did in the install before you got the missing libraries etc prompt?

Cheers
Simon
