Re: [Rule-list] linux meant for SA(s)

Shekhar,

This sounds like a job for slinky. The only thing is slinky is for 
versions 7.2 and 7.3, not 7.1. It might work with 7.1 if the package 
lists were updated. 

Slinky allows an extra_packages file to install rpms that are not 
listed in the options. base_packages can be edited but then of 
course you will have to test to see if you get a usable install. There 
has been some discussion of this in the list under the topic minimum 
install.

I am very interested in your project of creating CDs for custom 
installs. This is something done by Clark Connect which is listed on 
http://freshmeat.net. There is also info there on how he did it.

The Clark Connect iso is only 120meg. A minimum slinky install 
might be smaller. I have never burned a boot CD but having a 
bootable 1 CD rule install with a small iso is definitely a goal to be 
pursued.

Thanks,

Larry
