Just as an example of this, and one that RH may move into an update
sooner or later. Fedora 24's minimal comes with NetworkManager. I always
remove it and use network. So, on Fedora 24, which is admittedly in beta,
/etc/resolv.conf is now a part of NetworkManager, a symbolic link
to /var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf. So,if one removes NetworkManager
or even disables it, name resolution no longer works.
It seems to me that the easiest thing would be to quickly run a minimal
install in VirtualBox, and if you remove anything, keep an eye on it, or,
as was suggested, below.
