Stephen, thanks for sharing! In my opinion I'd say "minimal" doesn't need things like: mailx, nfs-utils, patch, rsync, screen, telnet, traceroute, strace, tmux. vim-enhanced I personally would like to include, but it's not really minimal.

Aha. tmux is for the rest of the admins, screen must be for me. I need to go learn tmux I guess. Ok lets cut this down again for a micro

%packages --nobase --excludedocs

acpid

authconfig

bind-utils

biosdevname

busybox

crontabs

dhclient

iptables-services

-iwl*

-libertas*

-logwatch

mailx

ntp

ntpdate

openssh-clients

openssh-server

postfix

-prelink

rsync

telnet

traceroute

strace

vim-enhanced

yum

yum-utils

%end

The reason for rsync is it needs to be on the client if you want to rsync stuff to it. I usually find that is the first thing I have to install on any box on the internet. I mean really micro could boil down to %packages --nobase --excludedocs %end

Just throwing that out there for discussion. I don't have a strong disagreement with your list -- although 888M does seem to be getting kind of large. I wonder what size Wolfy has stuff down to? :)

No problem I figured it was a working example of a less than @core set of packages.
