Hi all,

After working out how to get a fairly lean installation of rh
linux for:

Samba
IP Masq
Autodial to ISP
Sendmail / Fetchmail

I have been able to get the installation down to ~59mb. There
appears to be about 10mb of docs and 2mb of man pages, both of
which I do not need (they are not needed on the system and I can
look them up elsewhere if needed), as well as some other stuff
such as general utils.

I appears theat rpm cannot un-install the documentation without
un-installing the entire package. Is there a way to specify for
documentation not to install in the kickstart file?

(it seems that the above packages have a lot of dependencies, i
am working my way through them and gradually getting the totoal
footprint down)

Darren
