I think you will have to use a kickstart file.. http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-howuse.html See the 'services' and '%packages' sections of the file... Example: services --enabled=acpid,anacron,auditd,cpuspeed,crond,gpm,haldaemon,irqbalance, kudzu,lm_sensors,messagebus,microcode_ctl,netfs,network,ntpd,portmap,readahead_e arly,sendmail,smartd,sshd,syslog,sysstat,xinetd --disabled=cups,apmd,atd,autofs, avahi-daemon,bluetooth,firstboot,hidd,ip6tables,isdn,mcstrans,pcscd,restorecond, xfs,yum-updatesd And: %packages @base yum-fastestmirror yum-priorities yum-utils ... If you remove @base, you will have to list all the mandatory packages... JD
