But What I really need is making CentOS very small which should have needed minimal installation like selinux is not necessary and so on.

To get an idea of what packages are needed, for creation of a kickstart file I followed some advice on a centos page - doing a CentOS 5.5 install via the gui
- choose custom packages
- deselect everything
then - I installed rpmreaper from rpmforge (aka DAG)
- then uninstalling anything unwated in yellow
- then uninstall anything unwated that has now become yellow
- repeat until no more yellow can be uninstalled
- go through things with circular dependencies and remove entire circle of unwanted packages
I arrived at the following list (copy it to a spreadsheet for better viewing)
Code:

note that some packages are duplicates with .i386 and .x86_64 and I only chose to remove one of them
also this list has uninstalled all text editors, even vi. Packages marked as D - delete but RemoveWholePackage FALSE have some architecture of that package installed. However even after doing this I still have an installed size of 572MB.
so based on this if you install - kernel
- grub
- rootfiles
- vim-minimal
- yum
- libgcrypt
and all their dependencies in a kickstart install that does not install anything else it will hopefully be bootable, have vi and yum, but not much else. Which may reduce the installed size further.
I haven't actually done this with a kickstart install yet, you may also need/want - passwd
- hal - for better hardware control and support
- dhclient - if you allocate ip's with your dhcp
installed in kickstart as they seem important.
I personally also like to have for admin on a headless system
however this still leaves a lot of kernel related stuff, that is not needed on all systems. |
