There are actually two minimal images that have already been pointed out, but for clarification: boot.iso - Just stage 1 part of the installer, does not contain the large stage 2 image. With this disc, the stage 2 image will be downloaded if you select HTTP or FTP install methods and then mounted. If you do hard disk or NFS, it will just find the stage 2 image and mount it. rescuecd.iso - Both stage 1 and stage 2. Regardless of your install method, the stage 2 image is always read from the installation media with this disc. I tend to go with the rescuecd.iso disc and do HTTP installs. Works great, download time is minimal for the image itself. And if you have a local mirror of the release, installation won't take forever. -- David Cantrell <dcantrell@xxxxxxxxxx> Red Hat / Honolulu, HI
