Hello list, I'm testing CentOS 5.2 as a possible Xen Server (i.e.: dom0) but the default no-items-selected still installs cups, portmap, and many other thing I don't want in a dom0 installation. I've already removed the packages I don't want, and replaced sendmail with postfix (I need a mailserver because of mdadm/smartd) but there're some executables I don't know what they do (gam_server for example) Two questions: 1) Is there a _real_ minimal install? 2) Is it possible, using yum, to know which packages holds what file? (like dpkg -S in Debian/Ubuntu) Many thanks in advance, Norberto
