Sorry to reply while I am not an expert in SL, but why using FC6 repos with 
RHEL5? I wouldn't do that and expect dependencies to be solved!

AFAICT, you can use all the SL5 repos, including the clones of DAG/Dries and 
ATrpms (and Flash), plus:

After you'll read this: <http://www.owlriver.com/tips/tiny-centos/> you'll see 
that even for CentOS4 (SL4), the minimum install was trimmed down to as much as 
 349...376 MB (from something more like 700 MB using Anaconda), so definitely 
RHEL is *not* NetBSD... unless Urs will concoct a MiniLiveCD for you :-)

Cheers,
R-C
