If you want a minimal install, you can select only the packages that are
completely necessary: XFree86-base, XFree86-bin, XFree86-etc,

BTW, is there any way to automate setup.exe so that users don't have to
answer all the questions? setup.exe is great for flexibity with
different options for getting and selecting packages. For a school

are small so it doesn't make much difference.

Shouldn't the name in the setup.ini file override that version number

Is the script for building setup.ini files from a directory hierarchy
available anywhere? I want to setup a test install directory with the
full hierarchy and setup.hint files.
Also, I ran into a problem with the xfree-fonts-100dpi and
