If I would like to create a firewall/gateway with RedHat/Fedora then I must
install the 900MB. It is unnecessary!
Many times the minimal install is necessary with this!
FWIW I have a P90 box with 450MB disk running FC1 as a gw/firewall.. and
diskspace isn't even tight (relatively speaking of course :) . though I
must confess it was originally installed as RH7.2 IIRC and then over time
upgraded with apt, later anacondas don't run since its got just 32MB
memory.
