[Rule-list] Modifying the current anaconda--progress update

[Taylor, ForrestX]

Well, I am still waiting for the installer to complete.

For those who haven't been following my work on the enigma-list (Red Hat), I
tried to simply change the code in anaconda allowing for 8000K RAM instead
of the default 17000K.  I tried removing packages until it fit on one disc,
and used 'linux mem=16M'.  The install took over three hours on a PIII
500MHz [1153MB of total packages].  I tried the standard two-disc set, with
the modified anaconda, and I am awaiting the results.

It doesn't look too promising, as it has been 20 hours, and it still hasn't
started installing packages.  It now has the Processing [Preparing to
install...] screen, but the progress bar has not started.

Once (if) this finishes, I will try one further test with this disc-set.  I
want to select minimal packages [currently I have selected 1739 MB of total
packages], and see if that is any faster.

I will keep you all updated.

Forrest
