you should be able to do this already. The thing to use is defcfg. If you boot
with "linux defcfg=floppy" given to syslinux. And put file auto_inst.cfg.pl on
fat floppy with:
$o = { default_packages => [ qw(
lftp urpmi
icewm emacs-X11
)] };
then at install, you'll have these packages selected by default. Select the
minimum amount of package and you'll get the default_packages anyway (choose
expert to be able to select a barest minimum)
PS: defcfg is much more powerfull than just selecting packages :)
(see mandrake.com/drakx/auto_inst.html for more about auto_inst.cfg)
Hope it helps, cu Pixel.
