Hi!
Well, the only difference between the mini iso and the full one is, that
on the full disc1 there are some pre-compiled packages.
The base system etc. is exactly the same. So when you have internet
access from the box, one should also use the ports system to install
software, its the preferred way to go.
pre-compiled packages are nice when there is no real internet access or
the machine is very slow.
so go for the mini.iso
Just my 0.02 EUR
