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.

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? :)
