Ah, I didn't know about OEM scripts, that's a pretty cool feature I overlooked. True about the chroot, that makes speed less of a problem indeed, and it makes the programmer's perspective to be exactly the same, it still remains the high memory requirement, which in a installed system would not be (so much of) a problem, if that's the case, maybe improving Anaconda memory requirements would solve it too, is there any particular reason for Anaconda to take so much memory? Some users reported the inability to install the system with applications running in live because of OOM-Killers, even with 1GB RAM. -- Lorenzo Cogotti
