I also agree with almost everything else you said. I'd like to point
out, however, what we already said about the 19 MB iso. Personally,
I'll have to wait another weekend to try it myself, but something
like that can install almost everywhere a system that will boot, have
rpm, and run some included scripts which will create a mini server,
mini desktop or whatever... just fetching to it the standard RH disks
(or the URL of an RPM repository if bandwidth is not an issue)


Last but not least: do you think you could translate your original message
in a RH 8.0 self contained RPM list?
