Very possible.  But can you explain a little more about what you had
to do after your Server Assistant install?  For example, I noticed two
things so far that I don't like

-It doesn't seem to install GNOME or any graphical interface?

-Server Assistant wants to setup my partition for my.  When Disk Druid
did it during the normal RedHat install I could select a 100MB boot, a
swap, and the rest a big /.  The Dell tool wants to create different
partitions for /usr, /thome, etc.  I know you could argue the
advantages of that, but regardless, it doesn't match our current
practices.  So I would have to re-partition?

Thanks,
