9 | Please expound on the "many" of "many of the drivers" for us or point
10 | us to a location that describes exactly what this removes. I'm

16 Ick. I'd be inclined to not use minimal vim for livecds, it's *really*
17 stripped down... What're the deps pulled in by non-minimal vim that you
18 don't like?
