The Soekris net4801 is a really nifty device for embedded use, but it
can be a pain to do thsi sort of debugging on since it only has a
serial port for a console.

I've switched over to another system that does have video (and virtual
consoles) and the same error shows up.

After reading the tiny-centos web page, I'm trying to build a truly
minimal installation.  I have deselcted almost every default package
and am using the automatic dependency resolution to pull in the
required packages.  The current install is 87 packages and is failing
during postinstall.  I don't really want to cycle through enabling
packages one at a time to figure out what is missing.

Yes, I'm doing strange and terrible things to anaconda.  I'm a geek.
