I've said it before, but...
If you don't like the package set chosen in Fedora core, go ahead
and roll your own "Hard Core" linux.
Fedora comes with a set of tools that will turn a directory full of
rpm's into a linux distribution you can burn onto an ISO. Create a
.torrent and you can share it with everybody. If you just want to
subset Fedora, this ought to be easy.
sure, but it seems not to be such a trivial solution at the FC4 state..
