 He just has to cut 35MB or so from /lib/modules/.  We can probably nickel

 really doing to get us anything?  I am sure half of that can be removed by
 re-examining the minimal-list he sent (I can even help there).

 Right.  Considering the bloat elsewhere in the distro, I think we can
 start with what I have and work from there if needed.

 Excellent progress there. So 35MB are already gone and I figure
 (re)moving graphics, sound and other obvious things will gain us quite
 some more MB. Nice job.

No.  62MB are already gone.  The 35MB was what is needed
additionally to get to comparable numbers with ubuntu.  Sound I could
see dropping.  Graphics, not so much.

Really, I'm likely to start with what I have and if there are major
reasons that get brought up (with data) to trim further, we can look
at it.

 What about Anaconda? I guess it does have its own mechanic to
 guarantee a kernel is installed, right? Probably hardcoded as well.
 Since we're going to build future images with ImageFactory/Anaconda,
 it must be possible to install either kernel-core or kernel (when
 installing with a kickstart file, that is). I think putting -kernel
 in %packages doesn't currently have much effect, does it?

 So if I'm right and Anaconda needs to be adapted for this, I'm happy
 to reach out to the Anaconda team on our behalf, if necessary.

 Yeah. We also need to have it not install the kernel (and there's no need to
 mess with a bootloader) for docker images, so that all kind of comes
 together.

I'm beginning to like this whole idea less and less.

I agree too.  I think you did an awesome job Josh.  Most of the fat is
trimmed. :-)  Anything more should really come with some numbers/data.

Cheers,
