You still get base. A truly minimal install would be %packages --no-base But that would result in a largely unusable system, so you need to add packages back in from that point. NOTE: I have not tested this on FC6, but expect it to be the same. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 2:54 PM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Installing minimal number of packages Hello, I am doing a fc6 install for testing an automated app server install. In the packages section, I just have %packages @core sox screen mysql-server I would expect a few small number of packages ( around 100 ). However, I am getting 550 installed. I don't really understand why so many packages are getting pulled in. How can I debug this? Is @core no longer the right directive?
