   it would be nice to not have to do this on every !debian install: http://pastebin.com/K6tr32gy

     @eightyeight I usually make a base install and then install the tools I need. BTW do you install !Debian so often ? ;)

     @julienvalroff yes, i install it quite often. this is after selecting the desktop install from the installer. !debian

     @eightyeight then don't. Install the base system only and select the packages you want. Or use dpkg --get-selections

     @equitas installing only the packages i'm interested in after base is a bigger pita than removing those from desktop install

     @eightyeight so once you've done that, use `dpkg --get-selections > packages.txt` then dpkg --set-selections > packages.txt` on next PC

     @eightyeight You're welcome. It's handy as you only get the PITA once ;)
