Hi folks,

After doing a minimal CentOS 8.4 installation, I found the following
packages to be useful for a simple server, so I removed them:

cronie-anacron (replaced with cronie-noanacron)
alsa-firmware
ivtv-firmware
iwl*-firmware
sssd-common (along with all packages that depended on it)

What other things do folk usually remove to make their installation smaller?

Regards,
Anand
