Building a minimal system

The first thing we want to do is build a minimal LSB
system. To do this we need to map the LSB requirements
to Debian packages. This gives us the LSB required
packages:

at base-files base-passwd bash bc binutils bsdmainutils
bsdutils cpio cron debianutils diff dpkg exim file
fileutils findutils grep gzip hostname libc6 libc6-dev
libncurses5 login lpr lsb-release m4 make man-db mawk
mount ncurses-base ncurses-bin ncurses-term passwd
patch procps psmisc rpm rsync sed shellutils sysvinit
tar textutils util-linux xlibmesa3 xlibs zlib1g
