So, what it is bascially designed for now is: - Boot to a normal prompt basesystem bash coreutils filesystem glibc initscripts plymouth (was for boot logs & encrypted partitions; could be dropped) rootfiles setup systemd util-linux (plus implicit kernel) - Support basic networking biosdevname (consistent naming policy) initscripts dhclient hostname iproute iputils NetworkManager - Connect to remote systems curl openssh-clients - Allow remote systems to connect to us openssh-server - Store & forward logs audit rsyslog - Install other software rpm yum - SELinux policycoreutils selinux-policy-targeted - Add/remove/configure local users, and allow them to admin if necessary passwd shadow-utils sudo - Minimal tools for admins less man-db procps-ng vim-minimal - Scheduled tasks cronie - Get mail off the box (and define a default for doing so) sendmail - Support a local console kbd ncurses - Configure additional partitions for the simple case e2fsprogs parted - Probably legacy and can be dropped from explicit listing iprutils ppc64-utils Bill -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
