I am too different. We should make a new thread if we want to go on like this :)
This is my last post on this to not further derail the thread.
I am different. I only do frugal installs on NTFS. So the link you gave will help all those that accept to touch their HDD which I am very reluctant to do. Maybe some years from now when I have another new machine. or the hdd break down and me buy another one then maybe I do Ext3 on it.

Yet. It's currently a WIP that has been seeing progress in the last month.

You could remove files that are not needed in syslinux for install-tools.gz.
Leave them in in syslinux.tcz, as someone may want them.

What about a split, ie syslinux.tcz and syslinux-base.tcz? syslinux.tcz would dep syslinux-base.tcz while syslinux-base.tcz would only include the essentials needed to perform an install. The extlinux/extlinux installer can handle all of the file systems (as long as they're mounted) so linux/syslinux and mtools/syslinux are not needed. A lot of the COM32 modules would _NOT_ be required for basic install but can be very useful.
edit to add _NOT_
