It was the same for Red Hat 9, around 450.  But then I was able
to build up a fully functional machine with no X, but with gcc,
perl, mc, vim, ... in just 170MB.  Well, 256MB flashesh are quite
common these days, so an installation around 200MB is a good
thing to have.  BTW, I think the best way to handle this is that
people work on their own kickstart and when found a good
configuration, send it in here for possible inclusion.
