Next try - SUCCESS!
-------------------

This time I copy anything from fc2 disk 1, 2, 3 and 4 into  
/tmp/fc2/Fedora/RPMS on nfs-server.

Now it works! System can start w/o problems after install - we have a  
working FC2-OS on a PI/100 MHz Computer, with 64 MB RAM and only one 1 GB  
Harddrive! Thanks to Franz and the many contributres of the RULE Project.



What I have seen / wishes&recommendations:
-----------------------------------------

* This basesystem uses 837 MB of the harddrive - a bit too much. What  
about removing f.e. sendmail&friends and rpmdb-Fedora?
	# rpm -ev rpmdb-fedora-2-0.20040513
	frees 104 MB :-)
	# rpm -ev sendmail
	frees an other 2 MB ( not so much, :-(  )

* GUI: How to startx?!
* Mouse: At least a serial mouse does not work. Although Kudzu finds it  
and asks for configuration ....
* Slinky>> Hrmmm, failed to locate /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS	
	##may be an advice to change console and mount manually should be given.

Bye, Ingo.
