[Fedora-livecd-list] Trimming the size of LiveCD's

[Elias Hunt]

I believe I've done this correctly based on the way other kickstart data
is used, but I'm not particularly familiar with python.

I won't be able to test this until at least tomorrow, but wanted to
submit it in case someone can tell me it's completely broken, there's a
better way, or in case I hit the nail on the head and it can be merged
sooner rather than later.

Thanks.
-Eli

It should be pretty straight-forward.  pykickstart already parses a
--excludedocs argument to %packages.  When that argument is given, we
just need to set the rpm macro _excludedocs to 1.  If someone wants to
whip up the patch, I would have no problem at all applying it
