I have tuning to do, but it looks good enough to work with a bit...

I got a 'minimal' install.  I partitioned the 4Gb drive into a 3200Mb 
ext / partition leaving 612Mb for swap.

I unchecked a LOT of stuff and the install took 2.2Gb.

I ran yum install mplayer, and mplayer is NOT in the basic repo and that 
took .5Gb for yum databases.  I added the rpmfusion repos and mplayer 
took 40+Mb, then a yum clean all took me back to 2.4Gb used.  The system 
is doing the minimal I need it to do:  view mp4 lessons.

Thanks for all the help.  At some point I will move up to a ee900...

Of course no browser or such.
