dosfstools-2.7-1
I recommend that you take this out, because not everybody needs DOS.
eject-2.0.9-2
I've never used this, and recommend that you take it out. The functionality
should be reproduced with the mount program.
hdparm-4.1-2
I don't know how much this is used, but I only recall manually using it
once, or twice.
bash-2.05-8
You listed ash below. That should be good enough for a base install.
losetup-2.11g-5
I could be wrong, but I don't think that you'll need this.
hotplug-2001_04_24-11
I'm not entirely sure what this is, but I don't think that you'll need this.
logrotate-3.5.9-1
I don't recall using this, although I do know what it is.
info-4.0b-3
I usually don't make use of this, although I know what it is.
diffutils-2.7.2-2
I usually don't make use of this, although it might come in handy. However,
this might come in handy.
man-1.5i2-6
I'd like to have this available, but for a base install, it might not be
necessary.
tmpwatch-2.8-2
I don't know exactly what this does, but it doesn't seem all that necessary
for a base install. I don't recall ever running it manually.
which-2.12-3
This might come in handy, but doesn't seem necessary for a base install.
authconfig-4.1.19-1
kudzu-0.99.23-1
These both seem unecessary for a base install.
kernel-2.4.7-10
I've never used this before...just kidding!! ;^p
quota-3.01pre9-3
I think that this can go.
Everybody might want to check out these:
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/index.html
http://www.busybox.net/
The reason I suggest it, is because I don't know much about making my own
distro, or how much you guys know. In other words, no insult intended; only
trying to help.
Busybox is a replacment for the bash and ash shells and other utilities. I
haven't evaluated it, yet, so take it for what it's worth.
