There are a number of packages on the revised list which seem eligible
to be moved to the repository.  Most of these are servers of some sort
and it's not clear how useful they are from the Live CD context
(although I could imagine some creative uses of the NFS server in this
case).  Anyway, here's the list as I see it

SUNWbsr		Boot Server daemons (Root)
SUNWbsu		Boot Server daemons (Usr)

 	Legacy network boot servers.

SUNWbtool	CCS tools bundled with SunOS

 	Tools used for development; since we're not including other
 	such tools...

SUNWcnsr	Common Network Services (Root): time, daytime, echo, discard,
SUNWcnsu	Common Network Services (Usr): time, daytime, echo, discard,

 	Trivial network services that seem to add new value in the live
 	context.

SUNWftpr	FTP Server, (Root)
SUNWftpu	FTP Server, (Usr)

 	I can understand the FTP client but not the server.

SUNWlibmr	Math Library Lint Files (Root)

 	Package contains only lint libraries.

SUNWnfsskr	Network File System (NFS) server kernel support (Root)
SUNWnfssr	Network File System (NFS) server support (Root)
SUNWnfssu	Network File System (NFS) server support (Usr)

 	NFS client support, definitely; NFS server in the live context,
 	I'd like to hear about some use cases.

SUNWsshdr	SSH Server, (Root)
SUNWsshdu	SSH Server, (Usr)

 	How often do people SSH into a system booted off a live CD?

SUNWtnetd	Telnet Server Daemon (Usr)
SUNWtnetr	Telnet Server Daemon (Root)

 	Again, I can definitely see including the client but why the
 	server?
