Wouldn't it be a good stratigy to modify the comps.xml file in a way to
split up the basic-package group into two. Resulting in a real-basic-group
and a e.g. distro-basic group. This way anaconda can install the real basic
package selection for you.
I have been walking around with this thought since the rh8 times. Haven't
found enough time to realy attack this. I also am confronted with big
installations on machines I only use as routers.
All the extra packages not only force me to install "big" harddisks, but
are also only potential security problems as they are not actually used by
the system to do it's job, but can be used by a potential "bad-guy".

Different concept altogether, Walid. We want a working, functional,
permanent install of Fedora under 200MB of disk space, and if possible
lower than 150MB. The rescue CD is great for what it does, but it is not a
"live CD Linux" like Knoppix for example. It does not have functional
routing, firewalling, DHCP server, etc.
