Smallest Possible Kickstart configs for RHEL3 and/or RHEL4?

I would recommend playing around with the following:

%packages --nobase

This tells Anaconda to only install @Core and not install @Base.  Of
course, when you do this, certain Anaconda ks.cfg directives break
because they expect @Base to be installed.  For example, if you have
"selinux --disabled" in your ks.cfg, but you don't manually specify
system-config-securitylevel-tui in your %packages, Anaconda will
silently fail to disable SELinux  :)

I would recommend taking the work mentioned elsewhere in the thread
about TinyCentOS.  They've done all the work you require to get a
minimal install.
