To explain more: its mostly anaconda. With miniconda hacks you can get
down to about 64Mb (actually CD fedora will install fine on a 64Mb box
anyway). Below that needs lots of rpm transactions not one if I understood
jbj right (but dont quote me on it ;))

With yum I don't care too much. Other than for testing it seems yum is
good enough I've done the last install
