I have a 500Mb ATA Flash drive in my machine. If I deselect everything at install time (CentOS 5.0 - just for testing) it still requires 524Mb. Is there any way of doing an even smaller install?
Run a pre 5 series install and it is straightforward to hold size down
There are lower thresholds one cannot go below and still stay with current updates. My article on 'tiny centos' provides 'slimming scripts' to trim away coherent sets to taste while still satisfying dependencies http://www.owlriver.com/tips/tiny-centos/
Thank you! Since I also want to make a tiny flash-based centos, I'll look into this!
Just because one is familiar with hammers does not mean one should be shaving cats with one
That depends, in part, on how much one dislikes cats.
Shaving pissed-off tomcats is best done with welding gloves and apron, and a hammer. ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
