Re: [CentOS] CentOS 4 post installation of all packages

I have installed CentOS 4 on a server in a hosting company and I realise that not all packages have been installed.

as has already been pointed out - you dont really need all the packages from the distro. Just install what you need.

I am in fear that there would be other packages installed than only the ones from the default CentOS install by typing 'yum install *' if this is possible.

If you have not added any more external repositories, no external packages will be installed.

Try something like this 'yum install *.noarch *.i386 *.i686' - that will bring in everything from the CentOS repository.
