SME 7.x beta series is built on CentOS 4. So it also feels like RHEL. Give it a look see.

I'm looking at setting up a sort of 'appliance' server and as such its really not going to have a lot packages etc.

Before you re-invent this particular wheel, you might want to check out the beta 7.x version of SME server at http://contribs.org/modules/phpwiki/index.php?Downloads which is based on Centos4.

Thanks for the link Les,

I'm set on Centos, no need for me to try SME, the main reason I like Centos is mainly do to the fact that it 'feels' like RHEL. I dont particularly want to step further away from RHEL towards SME.

Did you see my post from yesterday (titled 'Minimal Server Install') where Johnny Hughes said he managed to get Centos 4 down to 550mb ? Also, the tip from Ash Christopher to go here;

http://www.owlriver.com/tips/tiny-centos/

is fairly useful.

I was just providing a bit of background info by mentioning the reduced number of packages. I'm now looking for some help with the USB stuff.

Cheers,

Brian.
