I'm not so sure about that. There are probably more filesystems than I can imagine. I wouldn't be too thrilled if all of that was in core.
I only mean Linux filesystems which can be used for installing Linux, whether they are or can be used for /boot, /, or just /home, not such optional ones like vfat (dosfstools) or ntfs. Those vfat or ntfs partitions can easily be formatted and/or mounted after the installation. Their packages indeed belong into [extra]. I'm not sure if this list is complete, but these are the ones which come to my mind: ext2 ext3 ext4 reiserfs reiser4 btrfs nilfs jfs xfs nfs So those packages are affected: e2fsprogs reiserfsprogs btrfs-progs(-unstable) nilfs-utils jfsutils xfsprogs nfs-utils Most of these packages are already in [core] anyway. And those tools are not the biggest ones. So [core] won't become a monster if they would be moved into it. But all of them should be removed from (base). Heiko
