Thanks for the revised list, Dave.

Sanjay asked me about what other components from SFW might be useful on
the Live CD and I've come up with two lists.  The first group has a
fairly small footprint on the CD (~9MB) and includes a number of useful
client utilities and GNU commands.  The second group I'm not so sure
about given the space these packages would take and the fact that I
believe their functionality is handled via other components such as
Gimp and Evince.  However, I'm open to including them if others believe
they're useful.

All sizes are bzip2 compressed, your milage may vary.
