Speaking about that. This "minimal" install isn't so minimal. I think 600MB for a text-only machine and so minimal functionality is way too much. Do you think it's possible to start a "task force" to search for uneeded packages and strip that down to a real minimum? I would be very happy to help if that would be interesting. AFAIK there are other distros that can have KDE/Firefox/OpenOficce/etc with the same 600MB (or even less). Also, looking at my past, Conectiva had a profile called "Minimal" that installed 250 or 300 (can't remember for sure) and a "Real Minimal" about with 150MB (version 10 released Jul/05/2004). Ok, maybe not a good comparison (regarding installed versions), but this kind of minimal is what I liked to have (without the need to remove packages manually either during or after install).
