Thanks Suvayu, good tips.

The first reason is: "Minimal disk drive" and the second reason is:
"Prevent any future conflict" which means, on that "extreme minimal
linux" all packages can be installed without any problem (must be
guaranteed).
I'm talking about some rare, custom-build packages which may conflict
with Fedora base packages.
