LinuxQuestions.org - help with removing all except essential packages for knoppinx remaster

hi everyone... i am working on my own remaster of knoppix and wish to fit it down to a business card size cd (50 MB). i have tried but to no avail remastering samller distros but due to the leack of support for my network card drivers (bcm4400) I have been highly unsuccessful at this. i was down to my wits end and decided to remaster from the full knoppix which did support my NIC card... problem is there are 50 some odd pages of packages and i only want the bare essentials in my remaster so i can add my own tools (there are less than 10 total things i want in the finished product so you can see why going through 50+ pages of packages and removing them one by one would be extremely time consuming/difficult) so i am putting out an SOS to anyone who will heed my call... i am lookng either for a list of packages that can be removed so as to only leave the bare minimum from the full knoppix... or maybe a command the removes all but essential packages... anything else that can get me to my goal of leaving only the essential packages installed to add minimal programs and complete the remaster!

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED...
THANKS IN ADVANCE...

Mike
