Hi all,
I need to setup a real bare minimum CentOS Virtual Machine, but with normal internet / network access. i.e. I need SSH, Mutt, Links, lynx, ping, tracert, dig, iptables, etc.
Does anyone know where (if?) I can get a list of applications which gets installed with CentOS 6 if every option is deselected in the installer so that I can see what I can remove which isn't really necessary once installed?
do you mean as in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg ?

Craig, yes, and no. I am actually looking for a list of software packages that can be removed without breaking the running OS. like for example bluez-libs or cronie-anacron which isn't necessarily needed for a bare-minimum system to run.
I honestly don't just want to delete stuff that I don't know if it could break something, so I was hoping maybe someone knows of a list (on a wiki / blog / etc) that has a really bare minimum list of software that needs to be on a server to function.
I could install anything else later on if I need to though.
