It was included until 6.3 but got removed once the concept of the
minimal ISO was changed from " a minimum of packages needed to have a
functional system " to "a set of installed packages almost identical to
the one installed when choosing the group named "Minimal" from the full
DVD image." See
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.4 vs
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.3
And I have to be honest and declare that I have no idea why we[*]
included presto in the first iterations of the disk. It was an error, it
should not have been there.
