The first (the install/rescue CD) has very few RPMs on it (and some
strange ones!):
[RPMS]# pwd
/ISO/4as/disc1/RedHat/RPMS
[RPMS]# ls
anaconda-product-4-2AS.noarch.rpm             inn-devel-2.3.5-12.i386.rpm

[RPMS]# du -h
14M	.

I'm not sure what exactly is in the initial images, though, that might
be enough.
