The only thing that runs before the kernel is GRUB. A single-package category (it would be empty on SPARC) seems not useful. >>> o ... >>> o Libraries (System) >>> o Localizations (System) >>> o Media >>> o Network >>> o Packaging >>> o Printing >>> o Security >>> o Services >> >> Can you elaborate on what the difference between "Network" and >> "Services" might be? > Network is just for network support, not the services that run over the > net. OK, what do you mean by "network support"? The stack is in the core packages right now, I'm skeptical we'd try to separate it. Drivers are elsewhere. Most everything else is services, or it's client applications like ftp or wget, which if that's what you mean, OK, I guess, but then I'd call it network clients or something.
