+Hmm. I change cmd line to:
+urpmi -v --replacefiles --ignoresize --urpmi-root ${ROOT}
+basesystem-minimal openssh-server ntpd grub vim man rsyslog systemd
+systemd-sysvinit
+
+But basesystem-minimal depends of polkit-gnome, pinentry-gtk2 why? this
+is server... Or i need many stuff from X to run software under server?
