is it in the minimal install from the tree ?
I think so in 6.x. At least it is different between a minimal dvd install and the minimal iso. I usually don't know which was used when someone does a remote install, but then I need to copy some stuff in and tell yum to install the rest of the packages. I'd vote for rsync too, since would be my first choice for that 'copy stuff' step instead of scp which sometimes isn't there either.
admittedly i havent done an install from DVD in minimal mode for years, but i am very sure that the end result from a DVD minimal and the minimal CD is exactly the same, unless some specific storage is selected at installtime. If this is not the case, quantify the difference and post a report on bugs.centos.org and we will try and fix it.
We always build identical servers in different remote locations and one location ends up with scp and one doesn't after the initial install. I know one of them is from a minimal iso. The other guy might be doing a server install from dvd. Is there some after-the-fact way to tell what was the initial install media and package group?
When you finish an install, you will have anaconda-ks.cfg that will tell you what was installed.
I forgot to mention it is in /root/ :)
