My concept of 'minimal' would be just what it takes to let someone ssh in and run yum to install everything else, with the exception of having openssh-clients and rsync in case you want to copy stuff over first. But having more than that doesn't bother me as long as it fits on a cd. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
