I may not be understanding what you want here, but if you are
referring to what sysinstall adds as a minimal binary-only install
then look what's in the bin dist on the first CD:
# mount /cdrom
# cd /cdrom/bin
# cat bin.?? | tar --unlink -tpzf -
./
bin/
bin/cat
bin/chio
bin/chmod
.....
Is this the sort of thing you mean?
