ic your point, i too am interested in non-bloated install.
however, this mail is specifically on installing WITHOUT suggests, or X. and in
this particular case, i'd like to get it really really small.
atm i'm looking at 670MB... which is way to bloated. at time of mga1, i had a
similar install of around 450MB IIRC.

kickstart=file didn't seem to honor the interactive steps, and gave error
because no / was found.
defcfg=file seemed to have a little bit of default settings, but still i had to
go through every step...
i haven't found a way to have the middle ground. (or it needs some love)
