<P><FONT SIZE=2>There are good instructions for building a minimal RedHat 7.2 (<A HREF="http://www.muine.org/~hoang/minired.html" TARGET="_blank">http://www.muine.org/~hoang/minired.html</A>) or 7.3 (<A HREF="http://www.muine.org/~hoang/minired73.html" TARGET="_blank">http://www.muine.org/~hoang/minired73.html</A>) system. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have not followed these instructions, but I have followed the same author's documentation for Postfix configuration. He claims the setup uses 261MB of disk space.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm trying to get the total Linux/* installation size as small as possible. I'm wondering if anyone has looked at the installed packages list from the Redhat installation [rpm -qa] and has parsed out all packages not needed for * to run. I follow the custom install guide from Andy Powell but the installation yields 948+ Meg with 340 installed packages. I'm sure most of those packages can be eliminated.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If the installation can be reduced to below, say 600 Meg, then there's an opportunity to harden * into a KNOPPIX Customization.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>BTW, has anyone already tried to produce a KNOPPIX * Customization?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks in advance.</FONT>
