Sorry, I think I was not clear enough.
What I actually want is to have a couple
of the important tools in the base while
moving everything also in ports.  By important
tools I mean nslookup (and maybe dig), and at
least the first one is cruicial for the system
bringup.  That one is also nice to have on the
livecd, which currently includes (I believe)
only the base system.
