Well, the only difference between the mini iso and the full one is, that on the full disc1 there are some pre-compiled packages. The base system etc. is exactly the same. So when you have internet access from the box, one should also use the ports system to install software, its the preferred way to go. pre-compiled packages are nice when there is no real internet access or the machine is very slow. so go for the mini.iso Just my 0.02 EUR Olaf -- Olaf Hoyer ohoyer@gaff.hhhr.ision.net Fuerchterliche Erlebniss geben zu raten, ob der, welcher sie erlebt, nicht etwas Fuerchterliches ist.
