Hrmm, possibly. :)
I was able to do it by simply redefining the minimum memory requirement 
and rebuilding the anaconda packages. 
I then used a custom comps file, and a limited package set to generate 
the .iso file.

For a finished release, anaconda could be fixed up more. Perhaps by 
removing all install classes other than custom, for example. If you are 
using our iso to install, it's unlikely that you are able to chose the 
other options anyway. Besides, the iso I built doesn't contain anything 
but a base section in the comps file. :) Just for fun, I'll try another 
install tonight and choose a workstation install. I'm honestly not sure 
how the installer will handle the fact that the comps file has only one 
section.

Excellent. I'll  think some more on this tonight when I get home, and 
look at other possibilities for anaconda changes.
