Stripping Fedoracore5 - HowTO
 

hello members

I'm in the process of learning HOW TO Strip a FC5 distribution into a single CD..

i.e. i'm looking for a resource that helps me identify the " must include " packages & the Config files that need to be changed or updated..

Hope someone inhere can help me with some ideas or links...

cheers

About 6 months ago doing a similar thing with Fedora Core 4. Not sure if I did it the right way but what
I did was run the installation disc and selected Custom install. I then selected to do a minimal install ( good for routers etc...).

The only other thing I selected, or made sure was selected was Yum. Then I just used yum to install Xserver and KDE and a few other specific applications that I wanted. This way it would update to the latest and install all dependencies.

I think the size was around 550mb - 600mb, the only thing is I didn't finish the project, never made it around to making a iso or an installer for it. I now onto another project doing something similiar with slackware 10

Look at the README in the 'isolinux' directory. There are instructions in there about how to do this very thing.

thanks for the tip but the project is almost done, Im just at the stage of builing the installer

hello members

Is it an more organised idea for me to try a http install??? If so, how do i go about it?? is there a HOWTO i can find on that????

i main problem here is to identify the most crucial RPM's that i need to get my OS going.....

cheers
