Hi :)
of course, the no-recommends option should be by default in apt
configuration and sysnaptic preferences as well.
this method avoid unecessary software but ask for more work on
packages choice. the easyest way to do is to list recommends packages
of each package included by default, to check if one should be
included too.
more time, but a package selection more precise.

i've discovered crunchbang on the very begining, in Corenominal's blog
in december 2007 and started the crunchbang-fr adventure by editing
the french wiki, conky documentation, openbox customization etc...
so if you plan to crunchbangize a Debian FluxBox ... i'm with you !! :D

distro.
