Theres a util script in there for building your own packages that uses cowbuilders to build pretty much everything...
How about a link to this scrip? ( I'm assuming it isn't the one I already have? - there are two debian build scripts? )
Also, the reason for so many packages is that you don't nessecarily need all the packages for a production system, reducing the ammount of installed modules can reduce attack footprint, reduces in memory and install foot
I understand this - but you would have to enable what is installed for them to be an attack vector. My take is 286 packages is too many. Compare it to Apache - lots of complicated bits can be added - but the package count isn't even close. The bits that take up room are content - and that should be packaged in parts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail Karl@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.
