Stephen, thanks for sharing! In my opinion I'd say "minimal" doesn't need things like: mailx, nfs-utils, patch, rsync, screen, telnet, traceroute, strace, tmux. vim-enhanced I personally would like to include, but it's not really minimal.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Just throwing that out there for discussion. I don't have a strong disagreement with your list -- although 888M does seem to be getting kind of large. I wonder what size Wolfy has stuff down to? :)</div>
