I agree with you, if all you want is a minimalist installation.
OTOH, I have always looked at BasicLinux as a means to put my toe
into Linux waters, and slowly learn by adding stuff. And the stuff
I am adding (and trying to add) is always going to be stuff that is
of interest to me - and that includes multimedia. And that is where
I run up against needing newer libraries and functionalities.
I learn slow, but I learn better when there is a point to what I am doing.
e.g. I am currently using timidity, bladeenc and id3tool to make
quality MP3s from my MIDIs.
Regards,
Ron
