I have been trying out a few Linux OSs. Installing the bare minimum systems. However, after installing Debian from the smallest ISO I could find on their site, I saw that Libre Office has been installed. I am looking for a bare minimum install, and I didn't even choose to install the options given such as Debian system utilities. I am surprised that extraneous software like this was included.
Is there a specific ISO or process which will not install the Libre Office?
Follow most of the instructions here.
Use a NetInstall.
Uncheck everything in Software Selection except for Standard system utilities. And don't check Laptop as it says!
This will give to a TEXT based install only, no GUI yet.
Instead of:
apt-get install xorg sudo iceweasel pulseaudio
I personally would go for Chromium instead of Iceweasel.
Instead of installing lxde install lxde-core. It will install less cruft.
You then have the basics to add what you want and no Libre Office.
