And even in "setup disk" I have:

glibc
ash        (next time I will use busybox's ash)
busybox
tinylogin  (without telnetd if there is any)
"e2fsbox"
"fdiskbox" (fdisk & sfdisk)
"sshdbox"  (sshd & ssh-keygen)

If I didn't need any tinylogin programs in busybox, I could disable
those in the configuration file.
