this seems to me to be the wrong approach to the problem. for a barebones
server install fedora shouldnt install the extra junk in the first place.
Like I explained to Rodolfo - you can get where you want to get to by
replacing an install class.
I just asked if it would be possible to make it so anaconda looks for
extras install classes from the repository or target location for
network installs.
as others have mentioned it makes it impossible to install barebones
fedora even on a 512mb flash. the answers "just buy a bigger flash" or
"just install onto a hd, remove a hundred packages or so, then copy it
over to flash" are what drive people to other distros. :-/
then they should probably go to other distros. I don't remember anything
in the goals of fedora which read like "be able to install in tiny tiny
amounts of disk space"
I understand what you're driving for but I'm not sure it's worth it.
though I do recommend you read up on how anaconda works internally esp
with regard to install classes.
