Don't forget, some of the Red Hat packages are not GPL, including them as
part of super_cool_linux may be an issue.
$ rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}-%{LICENSE}\n" | grep -i copyright
redhat-logos-Copyright 1999-2002 Red Hat, Inc. All rights reserved.
anaconda-images-Copyright 2002 Red Hat, Inc. All rights reserved.
Removing them then leads to:
$ rpm -q --whatrequires redhat-logos
firstboot-1.0.1-10
xscreensaver-4.05-6
redhat-artwork-0.47-3

The following errors are solved with:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

While there is little in the way of documentation, the scripts I use for
rebuilding the distro are here:
