[Ovirt-devel] [PATCH] some cleanup of ovirt-host kickstart to make images smaller

[Perry N. Myers]

This patch adds --excludedocs to the kickstart for the x86_64 and i386 
ovirt host kickstarts.  For the most part we're removing docs manually 
right now anyhow, but this may catch some other things.

Also cleaned up the section that removes docs and localization.  Recreate 
the cracklib dicts (frees up about 8MB) and remove unneeded kernel 
modules.  Most of this stuff will just end up in the whitelist/blacklist 
module, but the cracklib stuff is a different issue.  They can't be 
removed, they need to be recreated.  This will probably need to continue 
to happen in %post.

The end result of this cleanup is that the image boots and it is 58MB 
compressed/162MB uncompressed (filesystem is 450MB total)

One of the things we need to fix is the filesystem total size.  The 
filesystem doesn't need to be 450MB.  It could be initially created as 
450MB and then resized to 200MB or less.
