I just got home, so I'm a bit late in looking at this. Peter, thanks for the awesome input and Martin, thanks for already committing everything! :) And no, zyx-liveinstaller should be fine! >> Also if you explicitly add 'ssmtp' or remove the requirement of cronie >> you'll lose sendmail in turn saving a couple more meg and the startup >> of a daemon. > > Something's pulling cronie in - it's not explicit.

So, we don't hack the RPM.
