Re: Minimal RHEL4 install

Hi-

I'm looking for a guide or best practices around building a very
minimal RHEL4 machine (no X).

Any tips/sites/guides I can be pointed to?


You could use a really basic kickstart like this. The "--nobase" option will keep all the base packages from being installed, so you just need to add the packages you want. It's a lot easier then removing all the packages you don't want.

I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply
one of those things which happen from time to time.
