How come 11.10 doesn't come with some of the applications from 11.04?

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) on a RAID stripe.

In order to install on a RAID I had to use the Alternate Installation (ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso)

I noticed off-the-bat that some applications that were in 11.04 are no longer in 11.10 like Synaptic Package Manager or Startup Applications (it's there, but shows an empty list...).

How come they are no longer there?

I need to avoid downloading anything extra due to my limited internet connection (satellite). I have 500mb/daily @ 100Mb (6-60KB/s). On top of that, it is throttled from 1:00-20:00! On top of that... It took two days to retrieve the ISO.

The MD5 matches the ISO I downloaded so I think that tells me that nothing is missing...

You noticed right. Some applications were removed from the CD installation in order to make room for some other apps.

But concider that you wont need Synaptic in 11.10 for normal use since the Ubuntu Software Center was greatly improved and has nearly all functionality Synaptic has (see here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter/SynapticSoftwareCenterComparison )

New apps include Deja Dup, a powerful and easy-to-use back-up tool which I consider to me more useful for most users then Synaptic.
