I extracted a list of all packages from the current c7-x86_64-comps.xml ( available at https://git.centos.org/tree/sig-core!comps.git ), and installed them and their dependencies in a chroot, then had a look at what actually got installed. I also installed a few VMs to test which packages the installer will pull in by itself for mdraid, encrypted filesystems and UEFI support. The end result is that the rpms listed at http://miuku.net/tmp/7-installable-rpms.txt are installable from the installer, whereas the rpms listed at http://miuku.net/tmp/7-other-rpms.txt are not. The packages on the first list are about 3.5GB in total. I would suggest to place them on the first DVD. Do note that the installer will also take some space from the first DVD. The other packages (some 2.4GB) can be put on the 2nd DVD. Disclaimer: If c7-x86_64-comps.xml is somehow incorrect, my method will produce incorrect results. Garbage in, garbage out. Post scriptum: I tried to verify my findings by doing a real "Server with GUI" installation. It ended up installing a few more packages than I had expected, namely these: ocaml-brlapi-0.6.0-8.el7.x86_64.rpm tcl-brlapi-0.6.0-8.el7.x86_64.rpm python-isomd5sum-1.0.10-4.el7.x86_64.rpm python-libteam-1.9-15.el7.x86_64.rpm pinentry-gtk-0.8.1-14.el7.x86_64.rpm quota-warnquota-4.01-11.el7.x86_64.rpm These are not mentioned in comps.xml, and no other package seems to require them either. If you can figure out how they ended up getting installed, please tell. This may mean that the lists I provided above may be incorrect. I can redo the lists once I figure out what went wrong.
