1.4 Basic setup

If the system is installed with the bare minimum of packages and you want to make the best use of this document then it is advisable to execute the following commands in order to install other packages containing useful documents:

     # apt-get install info man-db doc-base dhelp apt apt-utils auto-apt \
                       dpkg less mc ssh nano-tiny elvis-tiny vim sash \
                       kernel-package \
                       manpages manpages-dev doc-debian doc-linux-text \
                       debian-policy developers-reference maint-guide \
                       apt-howto harden-doc install-doc \
                       libpam-doc glibc-doc samba-doc exim-doc cvsbook \
                       gnupg-doc
     # apt-get install debian-reference # for Sarge, do this too :)

For Woody, add exim-doc-html to the above list. For Sarge, replace exim-doc with exim4-doc-html and exim4-doc-info.
