I'm working on coming up with a ks.cfg for redhat-8 that has a minimal server
and have yet to see anybody post an example, so I figured I'd do so.
Currently this boots up with 305MB used excluding swap. The ks.cfg file here
uses sda as I'm doing the work under VMWare.
The intent is to have the bare minimum required to have a basically manageable
networked server, then add on the extra stuff it'll serve (ie, httpd, bind, etc.) later
to build up from a 'real minimum' rather than a RH-fat-"minimum".
Can anybody suggest 'more' stuff to strip out of this ? Currently it's a dhcp'd
system, when I get it done there's no need to be a dhcp client at all.
Also, I've found at least two bugs in anaconda so far:
- if you use %packages --resolvedeps and you exclude a package that is a
dependency (ie, do "-sendmail") anaconda crashes with a traceback
- adding the "text" line in ks.cfg doesn't appear to do anything, it never does
a text installation unless the X-based installation can't figure out the display
settings and it falls back to text
