I'm about to start on making a live version of a

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.
Cheers.

While your at it how about the minimum requirements to install into
"Linux From Scratch", such as the posting of the environment variables,
(set), and a current source code for just what your requesting. I've
noticed that all TDE wants to be installed into main-stream linux
distro's and they are all mostly bloat-ware.
