Tha's why those tools should be on the CD, but not installed in the
default case.
Having to go back to the CD (or any other install media) for basic
troubleshooting tasks seems like a stretch and rather counter-intuitive
to me. Its not what I imagine "base" to be.
So, yeah, if everything is fine you probably won't need these right
away. But its hard to imagine a server admin not needing these tools
sooner or later, so I see no point of not having them installed other
than grasping for straws space savings.
