I have added openssl because it is needed for openssh, and I added openssh, 
and nfs-utils to the optional list so remote admin was possible immediately 
after installation. 
because opensll and openssh are optional, adding a https text/console browser 
is no drama (my links-twibright cache is only 1.9MB)
I don't know if I will add it to the iso_root, but a cache and optional 
install is fine.
215MB is the magic limit I am working to, the size of a mini-cd. (if this 
isn't the right size, then tell me and spank Seth)
