Well, I setup CentOS 6 using the netinstall ISO, but want to know if there are still packages which I don't need and can remove
Do a minimal install then # rpm -qa | sort or # cat /var/log/rpmpkgs then # rpm -e <unwanted package>
rpm -e will not remove any package that has dependencies on it.
But you better add the extra packages you need (f.e. things like mc and system-config*) before you start pruning, as they might pull back in a lot of the stuff you might think about taking out (most notably perl).
