Hi
I am looking for an example of a kickstart file for a simple, minimal server install. I don't need any graphical apps just ssh, httpd and development tools. It seems that even when I specify only the packages I want many other packages are installed making the install very large. Any links to guides or example kickstart files would be great.
I'd suggest grabbing the CentOS server install CD from your favorite mirror (for example: ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/centos/4.4/isos/i386/CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-i386.iso)
Then install this on a piece of hardware, customizing during install as you see fit. When the install is complete, you'll find a kickstart file in root's home directory called ananconda-ks.cfg representing the choices you made during install.
Either use that directly or tweak further to your needs.
