[CentOS-devel] getting to really minimal

[Sebastiaan Glazenborg]

Would this help you?

%packages --nocore --nobase
@core --nodefaults
cloud-init
-firewalld
-NetworkManager
-plymouth*
-kexec-tools
-tuned
%end

That is what we use in building our own centos cloud images.
Anaconda installs very few packages.
