Parent article: Fedora core 5 will (temporarily) break non-GPL modules

Incorrect. For example, FC4 has boot and rescue images in this folder

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4...

The boot image is just 6 MB.

Sorry, the download instructions do not tell users how to do a minimal install; they tell everyone, clearly, to download 4 CD ISOs. Yes, I know that it is possible. But the bandwidth waste is because people follow directions.

The directions are specified in the installation guide. So if you follow directions, you already know of many Anaconda capabalities.
