Steps

Install Debian GNU/Linux or Kuliax
Upgrade to current local repository. I have one hard drive containing stable and testing release of Debian packages. My essential packages:
```
linux-image for i486. i686, amd64
mplayer
openssh-server
sudo
synaptic
```
Development packages:
```
module-assistant
binutils
cpp
dpkg-dev
gcc
linux-headers
linux-kbuild
libc6-dev
libncurses5-dev
```
Optional packages
```
vnc4server
```
Remove unused packages, at least for me.
