I do the same thing for home firewalls and smaller machines, where I often 
get 1GB drives and even sometimes a 500MB drive. I have consistently kept 
to 150MB-200MB installs.

Perhaps a few of us could cooperate on creating this "smallest" install 
kickstart file? I will be happy to cooperate, put forth my own efforts, and 
maybe put up a web page with the list of packages so that we can discuss 
it. Anyone else want to help? Lox, Michael, Jaroslaw... anyone?
