How to install Debian with a minimum of garbage?

Question

Debian

Need advice. I want to defeat debian's gluttony. With a minimal installation (SSH + standard programs) it takes up a gig of space. Well, I do not believe that the gig is all you need. I basically need apt-get, network and go. I will deliver the rest myself. But damn gig is somehow dofiga for this. Tried and expert instal and normal instal, one fig. Booting from mini.iso (28Mb)

Answer 1

debootstrap with "--variant=minbase" option

Answer 2

localepurge, delete mans. In general, not many files from this gig will turn out to be necessary and installed from packages, some /var/cache/apt/ may be sourly filled. For example, the cache of standard repositories is 100 megabytes.

Answer 3

Pull out the ethernet wire after the iso booted up :)

Answer 4

Gig is a lot, isn't it?
Well, if yes, put Kolobri, what really.
But in general, either cut your assembly, or install from the main disk (NOT from netinstalla), and without connecting to the Internet.
