You completely miss my point, but lately you've been real good at that.

Can the system boot without PHP, Apache, PostgreSQL, Mysql and/or Pine?
Can the root user log in without PHP, Apache, PostgreSQL, Mysql and/or Pine?
Can any user log in without PHP, Apache, PostgreSQL, Mysql and/or Pine?

Note, I'm not even including an MTA here. I said BASIC OPERATION.

If a package is not critical as I just outlined, it shouldn't matter who
installed it.

After the last go around with you Lamar, this will be my last response
to you on this.
