I've updated the Fedora distro for Fedora Core 2. The minimum size increased a little bit to 630MB. If you plan on using this with a 2.6 kernel, make sure to "mv /lib/tls /lib/tls-disabled" until UML fully supports NPTL.

FS is up to date as of today (27 Feb 2004 00:12 ET).
Added vi[m] and screen.
The minimum image size is now 900 MB, but the FS actually has only 750 MB used with a full /usr/portage sync. I ran into the "maximum number of files" limit with the image less than 900 MB.
