Some application you should better install

• udev for automatic devices (/dev) detection

apt-get install udev

• module-init-tools for kernel modules loading

apt-get install module-init-tools

• Bzip2 (for compression/decompression of .bz2 files)

apt-get install bzip2

Some useful applications to use with this image

• A compilation environment

apt-get install make automake gcc g++ patch libncurses5-dev

• An openSSH server

apt-get install ssh

• wget for command line downloading

apt-get install wget

• unrar (for decompressing .rar files), you need to compile it yourself as there is no packages for this one

wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarsrc-3.6.5.tar.gz
tar xzf unrarsrc-3.6.5.tar.gz && rm unrarsrc-3.6.5.tar.gz && cd unrar
make -f makefile.unix && cp unrar /usr/bin
cd .. && rm -rf unrar
