That is not the point. Not 25000+ packages. Not KDE and this stuff...
But sudo and host for example for me is a basic thing.
Also the editor nano where i feel better with.

Yes, therefore I would suggest an additional menu for asking a very small 
distribution or a (more or less) complete distribution.
That I find a useful option. And you can get more people happy whith that in 
times of cf cards getting bigger and bigger...

It is not absolute necessary, but in some cases useful.
I use it to set the IP Adress of the computer for example, with ifconfig.
And to call pump (dhcp program).
And to call setterm to prevent messages at the command line interface when 
plug in a usb stick for example.
I have programmed a graphical software:
