this seems to me to be the wrong approach to the problem. for a barebones server install fedora shouldnt install the extra junk in the first place.
Like I explained to Rodolfo - you can get where you want to get to by replacing an install class.
I just asked if it would be possible to make it so anaconda looks for extras install classes from the repository or target location for network installs.
as others have mentioned it makes it impossible to install barebones fedora even on a 512mb flash. the answers "just buy a bigger flash" or "just install onto a hd, remove a hundred packages or so, then copy it over to flash" are what drive people to other distros. :-/
then they should probably go to other distros. I don't remember anything in the goals of fedora which read like "be able to install in tiny tiny amounts of disk space"
I understand what you're driving for but I'm not sure it's worth it.
though I do recommend you read up on how anaconda works internally esp with regard to install classes. -sv
