Sorry, I think I was not clear enough. What I actually want is to have a couple of the important tools in the base while moving everything also in ports. By important tools I mean nslookup (and maybe dig), and at least the first one is cruicial for the system bringup. That one is also nice to have on the livecd, which currently includes (I believe) only the base system. -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE
