you only explicity Require packages you need to run. on my system for instance
[dennis at files ~]$ rpm -q --whatrequires findutils
mkinitrd-6.0.19-4.fc8
java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-17.fc8
man-1.6e-3.fc7
prelink-0.4.0-1
rpm-build-4.4.2.2-7.fc8
rpmdevtools-6.4-1.fc8
so we dropped mkinitrd we dont use java we dont provide man we are not
prelinking and we dont provide utilities for building rpm.
it is a similiar story for tar gzip bzip2 cpio
So because we strip things down we need a way for useful standard utilities.
I would suggest that we include everything we really want in pilgrim
explicitly or we add them as Requires for olpc-utils
