Lightweight Installation - What dependencies am I missing?

Hi there,

Im trying to do a lightweight installation of ArchLinux.

Im having issues with mkinitcpio, when I make the kernel. 

/sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.21 -ARCH -c /etc/mkini

/lib/initcpio/functions: line 143: find: command not found ERROR module 'ata[-_]generic' not found
/lib/initcpio/functions: line 143: find: command not found ERROR module 'BusLogic' not found
/lib/initcpio/functions: line 143: find: command not found ERROR module 'mptbase' not found
/lib/initcpio/functions: line 143: find: command not found ERROR module 'mptscsih' not found
/lib/initcpio/functions: line 143: find: command not found ERROR module 'mptscsih' not found
/lib/initcpio/functions: line 143: find: command not found ERROR module 'atap-_]piix' not found

Parsing hook [base]
/lib/initcpio/install/base line 4: find:command not found

Parsing hook [autodetect]
/lib/initcpio/functions line 4: find:command not found
/lib/initcpio/install/autodetect line 4: find:command not found

Parsing hook [keymap]

Re: Lightweight Installation - What dependencies am I missing?

you need gnu findutils, your list is indeed quite short; can't think of anything to remove

Thanks, I got that answer from IRC as well.

If anyone else can think of anything to remove, would be great

If you don't intend to compile stuff you might also try removing bison, m4, make, autoconf, automake, pkgconfig and patch.

He also can remove pacman if he doesn't plan to add anything more to the system.
