[TriLUG] Minimal Red Hat Install

[Matt Pusateri]

But even the minimal install option from the CD installs things like  
ISDN4 and Bluez, and cups, and a host of other things mostly due to  
LSB-base  requirements.   Which is what I would presume the --no-base  
option listed in the kickstart email was trying to eliminate.  But  
that's a guess.
