That really doesn't help you from a size/minimalization standpoint,
as the anaconda interfaces aren't separable at a package level,
so all the dependencies would still get pulled in.
Yeah, you can install in text mode just fine last I tried it.
Of course you get the text mode anaconda and it's much more limited
than the full gui version.
If this pulls in anaconda, how much larger is it. Is it still minimal
enough ?
