Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Redhat 7.2 installation
Can anyone point me in the direction to a guide for a barebone redhat installation? I don't want all this extra crap on here. Can anyone give me some advice on what packages I can do without.
Basically I want to have the system, X-Windows w/ KDE, MySQL, PHP, Apache. That's it! None of this other crap. All it is is a web/email server.
What can I do without? Thanks.

when you get to that part of the install where you choose either Workstation, server, install, upgrade, etc..etc... select Custom System, and uncheck Gnome, and check KDE, and down towards the bottom check select indivijual packages, then you can uncheck ot add anything you want, altho what you uncheck will have dependencys you will have to deal with...
i got Redhat 7.1 to take up 615 megabytes during an install, and had all my perifrials still work, and all the packages i needed...
That's the thing, the dependencies kicked my ***. I almost had it down to 346 megs, but the dependencies kicked my ***. I had everything but X windows on that system :mad:
Is there a place to go that explains what all those god damn packages are? Thanks.

Hey, life just got easier. On an install RH 7.2 will tell you you need some dependencies and ask if you want to install them. Just say yes. I found that really nice when I installed it and picked custom packages.
i installed 7.2 too since i have LOTS of extra unused disk space...
my main problem is for some reason i believe Anaconda during install picks the wrong CDrom module\device driver for me, (that sucks)., during boot it gives a message about it, but after it boots, i can mount & unmount CDroms good, and it reads them good too, maybe i will searth thru bugzilla & or Redhat's website for a patch or update, i rarely download updates or patches unless they apply to my particular system & what packages are installed, no sence in trying to patch something that is not in there...
i just fixed my CDrom problem, it was not the module, it is a KDE problem, how i fixed it was in the confrol center, in the sound sound server, i unhecked "start aRts sound server on KDE startup"...
and when i rebooted to see if i get those bad messages again the bad ones were gone!!! :)
