You can also look at the file named: /root/install.log (that is what is installed by anaconda). Just for the record, the absolutely minimal install you can do in centos-5 from the installer (if not using a special kickstart file) has 169 RPM packages and is 670MB (and this install has no real gui software at all) ... my current workstation has 921 RPM packages installed, and there are 2458 RPM packages in the Base CentOS-5 OS repository. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
