Using a kickstart file, you could install a system just using the "base" package group. So in your kickstart file you'd just have the following for the packages that you want to install: %packages --resolvedeps @ base You should then definitely end up with less than 1.2G. If you look in the file Redhat/base/comps.xml, you can have a look at all the various package groups (and what they contain) available to you during install time. -- dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
