Hm, have a look to the ELDK CDROM, especially check the ".list" files in
/mnt/cdrom/etc. They actually define the packages to be installed. You
might copy parts of the tree to disk and tailor the list files according
to your needs. Then you should be able to install the RPM packages with
the "install" utility as usual. Nevertheless, a root file system built
this way is very large, too large for most embedded systems.
