OK, I moved those programs, except for "ldconfig" which I couldn't find
easily.  (I couldn't find /bin/bash easily either.  I'll dig harder.)

I also moved a whole bunch of other programs (that were not packages) 
to CD (see CHANGES).  Hope I didn't get too carried away!   :-) 

Is it OK to move all the optional packages to CD next? 
(and make them no longer packages)

That sounds like a good idea.

It might be a good idea to have a bin directory in shmfs in the front of
$PATH so people could copy some programs to memory if they wanted to.

It also might be cool to do something similar for USB, so some programs
could be cached there.
