Whilst no-one had uploaded a KLF iso yet, building one for frugal installation is covered here:

To get the ball rolling I have made a Kennel Linux Fedora (KLF) system available for download and experimentation in the usual place https://rockedge.org/kernels

Direct download:
KLF-b.iso 964 M
SHA1-MD5.txt

At around a 1 G, the download size can be prohibitive, which makes using the build script a tantalizing option.

When running in a virtual machine from ISO booting from ISO, ensure that the virtual HDD is labeled "QEMU"

by installing instead of Chromium Firefox, the image became even smaller by 96Mb :thumbup:

That would make the ISO around 869 megs !! About the size of KLV-Airedale and KLV-Spectr :thumbup2:

I am going try to build one with out the kernel at all to add the smaller RT kernel if it is possible to exclude the kernel during the initial build. If it is easier I might start with the existing system and switch kernel components

I am checking it now
Yes, it works fine, the assembly is assembled without a kernel and firmware.
in f_00_fedora_gui comment out line 5 .and uncomment line 6. :thumbup:
