R: [trinity-users] Minimal install of TDE

I'm about to start on making a live version of a minimal install of TDE for Cobber (Australasian Debian). I am wondering >what are the absolute minimum packages required for a working TDE without applications. The intent behind the >minimal install is to allow end users who want to choose the applications in their install to install only what they need >and want. I will provide synaptic (or a TDE equivalent) for those who want a gui for package selection but there will be >no office suite, games, graphics tools, music or video tools. In other words all I want is the visible desktop, menu etc so >that the user can navigate enough to install more applications through their internet connection using either synaptic or a >terminal.
