Wierd that I had actually started to just think about this earlier 
today... :)

Unfortunately this is going to be nothing that I can do to help at this 
point.. I am really quite budgeted for time, and I can barely work on 
the other things I have somewhat commited to.

I'll be so glad when I'm back in school, and hopefully have some more 
time to work on this kind of stuff.

Keep me posted, I have a couple of idea's that this could be useful for 
(if anything, just what the minimum packages are for a RH install)

Thanks!
