Although a good suggestion, I can't help but sympathize with his
frustration. I tried to do a minimal webserver installation and ended
up with an installation of over 2GB! The minimal installation (without
the webserver) is very big as well and there is very little
documentation on performing small installations. An "enterprise"
distribution should have minimal server installations as installation
options.
