To me this is bang on message. My vote would be to have the initial
install go either one of two ways.
a. As previously mentioned design Anaconda to have hardware detection
built in and install accordingly. I suppose the issue here might be
achieving 100% detection of hardware.
Would be nice. But then again, the people I know with "limited hardware"
are just in for /very/ personalized installations (i.e., setting up a
router, firewall, file server, print server, ...)
b. If it were possible move the main distro down to 1 disc per the
second option above and then YUM everything else. This Im guessing
presupposes users have access to a reasonably fast internet connection
and some knowledge of thier requirements.
Most people around here don't have "reasonably fast internet
connections"...
