for gpm and modutils I see, and agree, for man I have to object ... why should this be useless in a vserver? anyway I think vserver will need some kind of adapted package set (or debs) for a useful minimal set, because there are other 'basic' requirements and dependancies than on a physical system: e.g. not needed but usually depended on: - hardware detection (pci/kuzdu/...) - device files (/dev/*) - kernel & kernel headers - modules & modutils - bootloader, hdpartition, fscreation ... best, Herbert > My almost freshly-created debian vserver contains 91 package, including mc and ssh >and maybe something else.
