Rather than picking individual software +packages from the &num-of-distrib-pkgs; available packages, this stage of +the installation process focuses on selecting and installing predefined +collections of software to quickly set up your computer to perform various +tasks. + +</para><para> + +So, you have the ability to choose <emphasis>tasks</emphasis> first, +and then add on more individual packages later. These tasks loosely +represent a number of different jobs or things you want to do with +your computer, such as <quote>Desktop environment</quote>, +<quote>Web server</quote>, or <quote>Print server</quote><footnote> + +<para> + +You should know that to present this list, the installer is merely +invoking the <command>tasksel</command> program. It can be +run at any time after installation to install (or remove) more +packages, or you can use a more fine-grained tool such as <command>aptitude</command>. +If you are looking for a specific single package, after +installation is complete, simply run <userinput>aptitude install +<replaceable>package</replaceable></userinput>, where +<replaceable>package</replaceable> is the name of the package you are +looking for. + +</para> + +</footnote>. <xref linkend="tasksel-size-list"/> lists the space +requirements for the available tasks. + +</para><para> + +Once you've selected your tasks, select +<guibutton>Ok</guibutton>.

The standard mail transport agent in +Debian is <command>exim4</command>, which is relatively small, +flexible, and easy to learn. + +</para><para> + +You may ask if this is needed even if your computer is not connected +to any network. The short answer is: Yes. The longer explanation: Some +system utilities (like <command>cron</command>, +<command>quota</command>, <command>aide</command>, …) may send +you important notices via email. + +</para><para> + +So on the first screen you will be presented with several common mail +scenarios.

Smarthost also usually stores incoming mail addressed to your +computer, so you don't need to be permanently online. That also means +you have to download your mail from the smarthost via programs like +fetchmail.

Even if you don't plan to send any messages, this +option is highly recommended, because some system utilities may send +you various alerts from time to time (e.g. beloved <quote>Disk quota +exceeded</quote>).
