Like I explained to Rodolfo - you can get where you want to get to by replacing an install class. I just asked if it would be possible to make it so anaconda looks for extras install classes from the repository or target location for network installs. > as others have mentioned it makes it impossible to install barebones > fedora even on a 512mb flash. the answers "just buy a bigger flash" or > "just install onto a hd, remove a hundred packages or so, then copy it > over to flash" are what drive people to other distros. :-/ then they should probably go to other distros. I don't remember anything in the goals of fedora which read like "be able to install in tiny tiny amounts of disk space" I understand what you're driving for but I'm not sure it's worth it. though I do recommend you read up on how anaconda works internally esp with regard to install classes. -sv
