Debian 8.4. What programs are included in the installation discs?

Question

linux

Where can I find information about the applications included in the first installation disk and subsequent ones? I'm interested in applications, not complete lists of thousands of packages.

Answer 1

I doubt there is such a list anywhere - the easiest way is to run debian in virtualbox and see what's there. But there is one more thing: you say that you will not have the Internet, but you can insert storage media into your computer on which the installation will take place, which means you can separately download the packages you are interested in with their dependencies in debian with the Internet

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get --download-only install <package_name>

your packages will be in /var/cache/apt/archives/
and then install them on another computer "offline" with
sudo dpkg -i --force-depends *.deb
