Guy but for possible reading by said newbies). However, nothing in the doc will be harmful or toxic to your system, and nothing has been done to force anything. Safe as a baby's bottom. More "weight savings" could have been accomplished with a heavier hand (particularly, about 25MB could easily be recovered by deleting docs in /usr/share/doc, and another 15MB or so recovered by just removing synaptics with --force and then deleting all packages which it in turn required). Those changes will be documented later... for now, there is only safe stuff in there. Two things also: 1. If someone will kindly help me figure out how to edit the comps.xml file without spending days on it, I'm sure I can work with the Fedora team to knock 150MB-200MB from the FC4 minimal install. 2. And if someone will help me a little with writing my kickstart file, I can provide an automated way to install my package list within a day or two. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
