Required and Essential: (27) base-files base-passwd bash bsdutils debianutils diff dpkg e2fsprogs fileutils findutils grep gzip hostname ldso login mount ncurses-base ncurses-bin perl-base procps sed shellutils sysvinit tar textutils update util-linux Required, but not Essential: (20) adduser ae comerr2g e2fslibsg kbd ld.so libc6 libreadlineg2 makedev mawk mbr modconf modutils ncurses3.4 passwd setserial shadow sysklogd syslinux timezones Guy
