Why not netinst.iso from which you can choose the Minimal package
set?
netinst.iso is ~300MB. I'm not sure how much additional is downloaded
when choosing the Minimal package set. But in any case you're
repeatedly downloading something. BFO will download the entire
current
package set every time you use it. The BFO file on the USB stick is
something like 100KB, maybe.
I am thinking of the situation when I want to install the latest Fedora
on a VS provider's setup and they don't have the template for that
version (or Fedora at all!) - it SHOULD be much quicker to upload the
bfo.iso to their site and do everything else from there but I found it
much too slow and clunky and I ended up building my own minimal install
iso (still ~450KB) and uploading that . .

Phil.
