[Mageia-dev] Minimal mageia install

Tue Oct 23 14:53:07 CEST 2012

Helo,
+
+I'm in the process of redeploying automatically my firewall machine,
+using Mageia. For that I'd like to have a very minimal install.
+
+However, I'm ending up with 580 packages, among them a lot of X11
+content, whereas I want a text base install only.
+
+If I try to remove some of them, I end up having to remove basesystem
+which isn't an option.
+
+So why is libdrakx-kbd-mouse mandatory e.g. in basesystem ?
+Another question is I could urpme lib64xrandr2 (and erase as a
+consequence 26 packages, none of them being in my list). 
+Why did they came on my install first ??
+
+Is there a way to have the smallest working text base install 
+possible ?
+
+Here is my package list:
+	'default_packages' => [
+		'acpi',
+		'acpid',
+		'basesystem',
+		'dhcp-client',
+		'grub',
+		'kernel-server-latest',
+		'locales-fr',
+		'nss',
+		'ntpd',
+		'numlock',
+		'openssh-server',
+		'openssh-client',
+		'postfix',
+		'rsyslog',
+		'squid',
+		'squidguard',
+		'pm-utils',
+		'shorewall',
+		'sudo',
+		'tmpwatch',
+		'vim-enhanced',
+		'wget',
+	],
+
+I'm working at the moment with Mageia 2 but could try with cauldron if
+needed.
+
+Thanks in advance for your advises,
+Bruno.
