Hi guys, Just a quick question regarding the buildinstall process of anaconda. It needs some dependencies, which should be placed in the Packages directory. However, what I want to do is strip a Fedora9 distro to it's bare core, without all kinds of junk (also for size, I want to fit it on a CD, not DVD). But the anaconda dependencies make that very hard for me, as lots of packages contain graphical stuff that are quite a few MB. Now, I will ONLY be using a kickstarted text installer, no graphical mode. Now, how would I go about building a distro, without the build-dependencies in the Packages/ directory. Is it possible to put them elsewhere, and then point to that directory: "look here for your dependencies"..?
You can find what _files_ are required, by installing by http off a local server and perusing the logs. The will also be helpful in ordering the files in the ISO image.
It doesn't help prune the installer image; I'd not worry about that unless size becomes a problem when you've deleted bad junk and added good junk.
