I probably shouldn't ask this because it's an obvious choice, but have you
tried apt-cache searching it?

I searched for "minimal" in aptitude and disn't find anything
that seemed relevant.

I managed to install etch on my AMD-64 system, except that in the
package selection I could not even ask for it to nstall "minimal system"
because of dependency conflicts. Neither could I do manual package
selection -- it just never did that part of the installation even though
I had reqiested it.

But aptitude will run on my newly installed system.

So my question now is, what virtual package to I ask for in aptitude to
get the equivalent of "minimal system" during installation?
