so in order to quantify exactly what should be on the minimal install set :
support install from optical media
support install from usb disk
install as native platform
- install to Xen domU
- install to kvm VM
- Functional on post-install
- firstboot ( for hooks etc that people put in )
- yum with the standard centos repos
- sshd
- selinux
- functional dhcp client
- functional ipv6 stack + ipv4 stack
- iptables and ip6tables
A list from my kickstarts :
- ntp
- wget and/or links
- rsync
- telnet (as a test tool)
+1 on all the above
Questions;
What else should added in ?
Should we remove some more excess ?
what is the thinking on lsb state for this media ?
Finally, I am conflicted on the idea of dropping the gui installer
completely. On one hand, we could claw back serious disk space - on the other hand, it drastically changes the install experience. Tbh, the install experience is a bigger deal. But worth pointing out.
And the problem that the text interfance does not support LVM (at least in 5, I don't know if they added that in 6) and there are problably other features that are only in the GUI interface.
right. LVM and RAID should definitely be in, from all points of view.
