   Agree with it or not, I've been doing it this way for decades and my   
   systems have the functionality that they need.  Not one (including   
   desktop and laptop systems) has a full installation.  They don't   
   need it.  but the desktops and laptops do come closest.

   The script misses that, because that's not what it's intended for.   
      
   PHP's image support, (if I needed that), does not need the entire X   
   subset.
