Is there a way to list the packages that are in a "base" install, but that are not in a "nobase" (core) install? I did a nobase install, then ran "yum groupinstall Base", but this just lists everything in base, including the core packages. Mainly, I'm just looking to audit the packages, and add only necessary ones back to a nobase install. So far, I've come up wit...

I had a 5.0 kickstart server which did "core" installs of CentOS (i.e.: "%packages --nobase"). I recently setup a 5.2 kickstart server. Using the same kickstart configs, I notice a few packages are always missing, notably: yum (!!), selinux-policy-targeted (even though I have "selinux --enforcing" in the kickstart, it always ends up with that package missing and selinu...

Even a minimal install with nobase installs about 40-50 i386 packages on a 64bit-System. I know this has come up before and thought it might be an FAQ, but I can't find it on the wiki. Some questions are answered here: http://www.goitworld.com/rhelcentos-x86_64-and-i386-packages-mess/ but I have these remaining: - can I tell...

I installed a CentOS-5 core OS (using --nobase in my kickstart). For some reason, it included mysql-5.0.22. When I do "yum remove mysql", it says it will also remove exim and mdadm for dependencies. I don't care that exim will be removed, but I need mdadm as I'm doing software RAID. But why are these even related? When I...

I setup a kickstart file that contains only @core and several packages explicitely listed. postfix is listed, sendmail is not. And there's no package where I would think it needs cups. Nevertheless, after the install I now have postfix *and* sendmail on the machine and sendmail even being enabled. And cups is installed. How can I find out what forced them (and probably many other unwanted

Today I installed a core CentOS-5 (--nobase). After that, I "yum update", rebooted, then "yum install xen kernel-xen". When I boot into the xen kernel, I can't get networking on eth0. It can ping itself, but not anything else. There are no routes listed, when I try to add a default gateway, it just says there'...

I was doing an Internet facing server reload for a client today and he mentioned that there is a minimal install selection somewhere and that I should take a disk 1 of centos 4.4 and it would be under custom Is this the case? How? I couldn't find it, nor could he after the fact. If it exists, where is it, or how do I get to it for future reference please? I usually use a centos server cd

Hi, just to avoid re-inventing the wheel, is there any document that can help me reduce even further a "minimum" installation of Centos 4.4 (BTW can you say 600mb is minimum)? I am in the process of creating a small Centos-4.4-based Asterisk box and I need to boot it from a CF card. Deleting useless packages will help me do what i want. Example: even a minimum install of Centos 4.4 (or

Googl'ing around just keeps coming up with pages saying that this should work (e.g. "Running anaconda in real text-mode" and "Logging %pre and %post" in http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart)...

So I took the anaconda cfg, commented out the partition/disk pieces and ran it off my repo server and it almost worked. Little things like not including things I had done on network setup. No first boot.... :) So now I am reading up on building a kickstart cfg http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-howuse.html

Just spent a little time poking around w/ p2v and am attaching the following pseudo-code for consideration. Note the patches aren't commit ready yet, just looking for thoughts - The first is a fix to get client image building process working on F17. It seems the version of ksflatten there didn't expand the nested %includes which was causing errors (also --interpreter image-minimizer

Hi all, I need to setup a real bare minimum CentOS Virtual Machine, but with normal internet / network access. i.e. I need SSH, Mutt, Links, lynx, ping, tracert, dig, iptables, etc. Does anyone know where (if?) I can get a list of applications which gets installed with CentOS 6 if every option is deselected in the installer so that I can see what I can remove which isn't really necessary

Using centos 5.2, I want to use a kickstart file to select packages in order to have an unattended install onto a bare-metal server. Is there any way of finding out which packages I need to compile, build and run asterisk ? I generally want to build all modules in asterisk and the wct4xxp zaptel module I want to be able to not select any groups in the kickstart file, but only select

Hi, I'm wondering about the impact of using both dom0 and domU's on a server at the same time. I'm worried about the performance impact of running a Mysql server in a domU and now I'm thinking about moving the Mysql part of a LAMP setup into dom0 and running a few Apache guests as domUs. Since the Apaches will serve mostly from an NFS share they won't have much impact on
