Questions regarding the base system
I looked at the base system and I think we should remove adduser from it.
I dont think it is essential to be able to add users in a minimal system.
It is needed right now just to create one initial user.
Perhaps we could live without it?
Why is the MBR package in the base system? And why does lilo depend on
mbr?
What is the purpose of the syslinux package in the base?
There is a kernel image in rex's base. Why is the kernel package also
contained on the first boot disk?
I am not very clear on the reason why there is fdflush and update? Do not
both do the same thing?
Would it be possible to generate a standard.tar.gz like a base.tar.gz
containing all standard packages?
And an optional.tar.gz with all optional packages in it?
