If you haven't looked at the ISO recently, it basically is the kernel, bash, 
gcc, wget, and the lunar scripts.  Of course, ifconfig, ppp, pppoe, and the 
network config tool are there too, but if you didn't have those, how would 
you download anything.

Really the system is pretty much the bare minimum when you install.  That's 
the point.
