This should give you the name and version.  These are subject to change
as we go forward, up until the point when we freeze and branch from
Fedora Core 6:

http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build84/jffs2/build.log

The packages listed leave about 130MB free on a 512MB JFFS2 image.
We'll continue to prune files and reduce interdependencies of these
packages to hopefully get the base OS image down to the 150MB - 200MB
range, leaving about 250MB free for user data and applications.  There's
still room to prune here, and it's an ongoing process [1].

[1] For example, we're going to remove 'perl' just as soon as we get X11
to stop depending on it, which is only used for one small thing.  That's
a 12MB package.  cracklib-dicts too, that's another 3.3MB.
