Hi All,
I've been reading along and banging my head against the wall trying to
create a cd image including some base packages and a modified installer.
Seems the anaconda documentation is a bit thin. :)
I think I finally figured it out.
I built a new bootable CD containing everything in the base install plus
the packages that anaconda seems to insist on having available. I used
rebuilt anaconda and anaconda-runtime packages, with modifications
similar to those Forrest suggested in an earlier mail.
I've just installed it onto an old P-166 with 16 megs of ram. The disk is
an old Seagate ST3630A (631MB) and I made a 128MB swap partition.
The install took just under a half hour, and booted without difficulty.
I'll try tomorrow with limiting it to 8MB ram.
According to the installer 151 packages were installed using 314MB.
(There are 250 rpm files available on the disk) It can be trimmed down
more, but I wanted to get it working first.
Here's some of the post install info:
address@hidden devon]$ free

rpm -Va shows no problems.
The list of installed rpms is available here:

If anyone wants to play with it, I'll make the 295 MB iso available.
Hope this is something along the lines of what we are looking for?
