IMHO, that's a very bad idea. Unless your diskspace is very very tight (in which case you should probably look into DSL or another distribution made for that purpose), why would you want to install CentOS without the "base" packages? All machines that I've seen that have been installed with --nobase are crippled. Some programs and mainly scripts just don't work, because they need to run some utility that is not installed. Consider removing the --nobase and, if there are packages you would like to remove from base and you're positive that it's safe to do it, use -packagename. Filipe
