I tried removing texinfo. Sadly, what proceeds to occur is a 
relative chain of packages that continually depend on 
/usr/share/locale/cs, all the way down to 'tar.' At which point
I had lost most of my system functionality and was scp'ing 
binaries into /bin to keep it alive.

A fruitless effort, but interesting none the less. ;)

When I get home tonight I'll roll a new kernel and do more testing.

How does the installer get around this problem?
Since it too must start with a base system?
(Maybe it's just my misunderstanding of the complete inner workings
of hte installer).

Cheers,
Carlos.
