Can we make it possible to easily select the following four minimal sets? E.g. 
hide the first three a little and print a warning dialog when one selects 
them?

minimal-bootable: A Fedora systems that boots and allows to login via text or 
serial console and install software via rpm.

minimal-rpm: minimal-bootable + rpm

minimal-yum: A Fedora system that has also yum installed

It should be also easy to add support for ethernet network or have at least 
ethernet network support and make it easy to also select dial up and wireless 
support.

minimal-suggested: The current minimal possible set

Is it possible to design these sets for anaconda without recreating a boot 
image, but only e.g. pointing it to an external repo that only contains comps 
information?

Till
