For kickstart there's a @core package group, which from comps.xml is the 'Smallest possible installation'. The packages don't include cups or bluetooth to my knowledge but do still end up resolving to 1.2GB of installed data last time I measured it. Whether or not you can pick this option via the manual installer I wouldn't know. -- Matthew Kent \ SA \ bravenet.com _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
