There is a LILO specific howto at the Linux Documentation Project
Also, where/how does LILO crash? The amount of letters it writes
before stopping (ie L or LI or LIL...) is some kind of diagnostic:

It should be --excludedocs, sorry. But check rpm man page for details

This is exactly what I tried to do months ago with the DAn tool:

probably it is time to ask again everybody to test/ comment it??

The DAn tool above was meant to do the same thing... without installing, just looking at the disks, or iso images. Even better,
actually: once you have generated its database, you could use or
redistribute just that, and others could generate their minimal
package list, maybe for net install... without even having the CDs,
or any already running fedora system. And it could generate the
list in the proper order.
