Oh no... That means 'rpm' is going to be in system?!?! :-/ |

Following the installation guide, this will be installed. To include it in |
| 22 |
system would mean the install guide would have to install the cron app before |
| 23 |
system, which may or may not work. |

grep provides both of these. egrep is short for grep -e... not sure what fgrep |
| 26 |
is. |

See comment about cron implementations. CUPS provides 'lpr', and I'm sure the |
| 29 |
non-CUPS printing stuff probably does too. |

This is likely already in system... |

Ok, this would be a reason to include 'man', but are man-pages required by the |
| 34 |
LSB? |

Surprised to see rsync... Except for Gentoo, does anyone really use this on a |
| 37 |
common basis? |

Probably already in system also. |

Then the LSB is obsolete. =p |
| 43 |
Seriously, though, this is probably because bzip has it's own custom license |
| 44 |
which some GNU/Linux distributions might not want to require. As it is, a |
| 45 |
normal desktop Gentoo system requires accepting around 14 or 15 licenses. |

Or, more like what Mandrake does and perhaps better, have a 'lsb' package |
| 55 |
which simply DEPENDs on all LSB-required applications. This would be better |
| 56 |
than another profile, IMO. |
