I have stripped gnu-utils to be what it was meant to be.
Having X stuff + fonts was causing much grief and seemingly needed by gtk2, which we now have newer Gtk2 extensions.

Code Sample

Title: gnu-utils.dsl
Description: GNU Core Utilities - Busybox Replacement
Version: 5.2
Author: GNU <bug [dash] coreutils [at] gnu [dot] org>
Original-site: http://www.gnu.org/home
Copying-policy: GPL
-----==[ Color = blue Filesize: 1.18M ]==-----
Extension by: robert[at]damnsmalllinux[dot]org
Comments: The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell,
and text manipulation utilities of the GNU operating system.

The stripped out part is available as:

Thanks. Corrected here and there.

Wondering if mount utils etc have been removed?

These were not needed - those in dsl's base are GNU anyway, not Busybox, and having these in gnuutills was breaking my loop-aes extension (which updates mount, umount, losetup, swapon, swapoff with patched gnu versions)

Ah-ha, I'd never thought that gnu-utils could be replacing mount, umount, etc - perhaps this could explain in part why I had weird problems in compiling ntfsmount, etc... (the kernel version notwithstanding)

The issue of mount was brought up by jls. I removed them from gnu-utils see Site news topic for 4.3 and the change log for gnu-utils.dsl that I just posted here.
