In the past I've built firewalls on small drives (like 250M) by booting 
from a Linux utility CD and manually setting up the partitions,. Then I 
manually installed RPMs until the dependency errors went away. Start 
with the kernel and install whatever it needs etc. You have to use the 
'-r' switch to rpm to tell it where the root of the filesystem is.

But this is very time consuming and it still gets pretty big.

Or you could try deselecting ALL the packages in the install. It then 
should still install enough to boot (hopefully?), but you then have to 
go through and install anything you need manually.
