An Idea for an easier Install

[Alien Technology French]

Hello,

You just have in mind that Ubuntu is worldwide distributed and all 
countries have not dsl connections, so on my mind it is better to have a 
functionnal distro with a maximum of local avalable softwares on disc.
But it is perhaps a good way to have a minimal graphic base (with xorg 
configured and enabled) allowing user to install what he needs, in fact 
a gnome desktop without totem, serpentine, rythmbox and OOo like what 
Texstar do with MiniPCLOS because the first work I do after an install 
is an apt-get remove unused stuff (fonts, xorg drivers....).
