I have now shrinked the serverinstallation of Feisty down to aprox
350MB. My keywords so far is to swich to a server-kernel, to be able
to remove Xorg-dependencies, and removing documentation.
I don't really get it why the server-kernel is not derault on a
serverinstallation from the server-cd.

I will attach a list of all installed packages (it's to long to
include in the mailbody).
I am still very intrested in shrinking the installation further, and
if someone have any idea of unnecesary packages in my installation (on
the attached list) I would be glad to know.

I also found out that you should not use apt-get, as it does not keep
track of dependencies. Use Atitude instead.
And use "purge" instead of "remove" when uninstalling packages.
Otherwise there will be a lot of garbage left in the directories.
