The following packages are questionable: * diffutils - why it should be on every system? * gawk - why it should be on every system? [...] * mailx [...] * vi - ok, no bikeshed thing here, but there's nano for base
Those are required for Single UNIX Specification v3 conformance. However I think Arch Linux doesn't conform for other reasons anyway, and I support their removal from the base group. I always remove the 2 latter by hand after installing. -- catwell
Hi, rp-pppoe should not be removed, Its very handy and easy to use tool. It was using it this tool I was able to connect the internet in ArchLinux. without it I won't be able to install arch. the alternative ppp is hard to configure. I am strongly against this, would recommend not touching rp-pppoe until a alternative easy to use solution(netcfg script to ppp?) is available. Regards, Gaurish Sharma www.gaurishsharma.com

Rp-pppoe doesn't need to stay in base to remain in core though. It should be available to install via CD-ROM if it's in core.

Can the rp-pppoe scripts also be run from the LiveCD's shell before starting the installation if it's not in base? If not it has to stay in base. Greetings, Heiko
