The simple solution is to hack the comps file and remove all the included
files you don't want.
You can get a very slim install this way (besides setting your own package
defaults).
Well, maybe thi sisn't so simple since you have to
burn a new CD; so you might as well include the updates and run genhdlist.
If you really have to have a more "modern" distro for a 486, use RedHat 6.1.
