the only issue with that is what / how would you define 'servers'. Its easier to work with something like a package list of what would be considered reasonable to have on a default install, then remove the option to make installtime package selections and deliver only that raw package manifest thats been pre-selected.
Preferably with support for things like XFS. One the basic system is up one can pull in everything else. Apache, mysql and the lot are all things that can be pulled in once the basic installation is done.
ok, xfs is venturing into centosplus lands...
But iptables, ntpd, sshd are however things I considere part of the core installation.
How about you work out a list, we can then all argue over it, whatever packages get onto the list then can pose a potential manifest to work with ?
I guess that would be a significantly small CD to be around for future releases as well.
yup, I am trying to automate things as much as possible, so once we have something in the grinding machine, it should stay there.
