[SLUG] Fedora netinst?

2008-05-08 Thread Erik de Castro Lopo
Hi all,

I want to install Fedora in a qemu VM for testing purposes. Since
I'm after a pretty mininal install I'm looking for something like
the 150Meg Debian netinst images, but all I can seem to find is
3+ Gig ISOs and rescue images.

Is there such a thing as a small Fedora ISO image?

Cheers,
Erik

mdbtools works quite well, based on my own tinkering.


Yep, this does look like the package that I thought I saw, thanks everyone.

What you want is the minimal boot media. The installation guide tells
you where to get it;

Hi Peter.

I know you have your spam filter on, could you kindly email me in the next 
day or so.

Are you or have you any interest in OpenMP probably more under Linux?
If so, I would like to send you something...
