I think it might have been included in some versions of the minimal release (maybe 6.3 or so?). I have yum-presto on one system and 'yum info' says it came from:
From repo : anaconda-CentOS-201207061011.x86_64
and I think that was a minimal iso, but it hasn't been on other versions.
It was included until 6.3 but got removed once the concept of the minimal ISO was changed from " a minimum of packages needed to have a functional system " to "a set of installed packages almost identical to the one installed when choosing the group named "Minimal" from the full DVD image." See http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.4 vs http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.3
And I have to be honest and declare that I have no idea why we[*] included presto in the first iterations of the disk. It was an error, it should not have been there.
Thanks - at least I'm not going crazy - yet, anyway.... My concept of 'minimal' would be just what it takes to let someone ssh in and run yum to install everything else, with the exception of having openssh-clients and rsync in case you want to copy stuff over first. But having more than that doesn't bother me as long as it fits on a cd.
