It ran fdisk and nfs and busybox and a small shell, with drivers for 80% of the network cards and 95% of the harddrives of its day. That is enough to receive a "push" install. > How are you suggesting we get this all down smaller? If you are > shooting for smaller, what are we giving up to get the size down? Anaconda already has decided to lop off 4% of the otherwise-eligible machines because of minimum RAM (512MB). Why not go whole-hog with the 80%/20% rule? The 15 most-popular NICs cover 80% of all boxes; the next 25 most popular NICs cover 80% of the rest, etc. The top 5 storage drivers cover 97% of all "harddrives." 20 of the remaining 500 kernel modules cover 98% of all install-time requirements. Produce a few (say, 3) "editions" of the installer, of increasing size (50MB, 125MB, 200MB) and increasing coverage (80%, 96%, 99%). -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
