I have a couple of 64bit Maverick installs from the minimal CD. They each have about 1100 packages installed.
When I started to upgrade one to Natty with the Upgrade Manager, it told me it wanted to install 205 new packages (along with upgrading 877). 205 new packages seems like a lot of growth in the minimal install. Why do I need those 205 packages?
Then I looked at the minimal CD page where I saw that the minimal CD itself (which has lists of packages not the packages) grew from 15.6 to 22MB.
So, did the minimal install just bloat up with Natty or what? Is there an even-more-minimal install?
