[Rule-list] New to list..

Folks,

  I have been wrestling with the bloat required for the later
  redhat installs, and was pointed to RULE from the kickstart list.

  Now I am here !

  My requirements are an unattended install of a base redhat system
  with some custom RPMs, on diverse hardware down to 486/16Meg.

  I currently use the redhat 7.0 anaconda / boot images, which
  do work in 16 Meg.

  I rip some modules out of the modules.cgz file to make room for
  a 100K kickstart script, which is customised per machine and
  edits / replaces exim config files, dhcp, ldap, etc.

  Since I need kickstart support, I am inclined to remain on this
  path. It is single-floppy, not two, and unattended, or bootable CD.
  With the relevant RH7.0 boot disks, I can also netboot.

  I use redhat 7.2 RPMs, latest and greatest. Have not tried
  Redhat 7.3, but expect it to still work. I of course modify
  the comps file and RPM list.

  Does rule have anything to offer me ?

  Any features from later anacondas that I will miss someday ?

Cheers,   Andy!
