danker, I believe so. And some typos. Why did I jump to 3...it was something like "hm beta 2 is .1, I must have forgotten to put .2 after beta 1, lets put .3 now like third installment of 1.4.5" jmbattle, long time no read. Network Connection - Do you want network support to be removed or it is like your LAN is set by DHCP and you don't need any access to the config? Shell HW - part of Shell Services, already removable, cant be separated from other 2 in the same component.

It is needed, for most Crypto - who knows, you never know HID - usb, mouse, keyboard thingies Spooler - Printer Support Sec Acc Mng - Don't know Installer - needed, for most So only possibility would be Network Support and see what is Crypto and Secc Acc Mng.
