i'm new, so i'm a bit lost:
why give up anaconda? can't you just repackage the data so it gives you a
better "lightweight install"?
and, why not just snag the RULE-compliant RPMs from RH or fedora, mix in
your mini-kde RPMS, and build a custom yum repository for RULE?
(by RULE-compliant, i mean, the useful RPMs that aren't bloatware...)
