I would like to 2nd that as well. I am also trying to do get a minimal install disc with the fewest packages possible. I currently have it down to around 150 as well so maybe we can compare notes.
Well, my current count is 194. I'd love to see it down further, but I really can't see where I can cut packages any more :( I'm not building a CD - my installs are all over PXE/HTTP, so I probably have some more leeway than you do. My install size is now: /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 2.0G 114M 1.8G 6% / /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 62M 14M 45M 24% /boot /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 2.0G 441M 1.5G 24% /usr My biggest problem at the moment is sendmail - which pulls in a lot of dependencies, like m4/make etc. I'd like to have the ability for cron jobs and the like to be able to send emails, but having a full-fledged sendmail installation sounds like an overkill. Ideally, I just need a program with a /usr/sbin/sendmail binary (for mutt, which is my preferred command-line mail client for use in cron jobs and scripts) that implements an SMTP client. I am looking at some small programs at the moment. My second problem is gpm - not needed on headless servers, but vim-enhanced pulls it in (I like to see syntax highlighting in my httpd.conf and the like :) comps.xml is here: http://pastebin.com/799417 The rpm -qa --last output on the server is here: http://pastebin.com/799429 Binand
