Rob supplied the descriptions, I'm sure cygwin will operate without profile, but would just "Core common files" be sufficient? Debian's description (slightly altered) is: sdesc: "Base system miscellaneous files" ldesc: "This package contains the basic filesystem hierarchy, and several important miscellaneous files" Would this be better? > > category: base > Shouldn't there be a dependency on the Cygwin package? ack :) requires: cygwin Do you think it needs any shells? the Deb package consists of: (relevant to Cygwin) etc/debian_version etc/host.conf etc/inputrc etc/issue etc/issue.net etc/nsswitch.conf etc/profile with a seperate base-passwd which "provides the master /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, containing allocated user and group IDs, plus the update-passwd utility to keep them up to date." Note that I'm willing to do this package too :) J.
