<PRE>Hello,
Wolfgang Bornath said on Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 03:54:38PM +0200:
><i> 2012/10/23 Bruno Cornec <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">Bruno.Cornec at hp.com</A>>:
</I>><i> > Helo,

</I>><i> I had the same experience with Mageia 1 - the lowest I could get was
</I>><i> somewhere in the high 500. I spent some time tinkering with that but
</I>><i> whatever I tried, whichever package I wanted to remove, I always ended

</I>><i> (possibly due to lack of knowledge) :(
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I just checked Olivier's suggestion, ending up with some 270 packages...
</I>
Well I *know* i can do better:
sudo chroot /users/rpmbootstrap/mageia/2/x86_64 /bin/bash
bash-4.2# rpm -aq | wc -l
172
That chroot is made by a tool I'm developing to create build
environments for multiple Linux distributions (supports Fedora, CentOS,
Mageia, Mandriva, OpenSuSE, debian, Ubuntu). Cf: rpmbootstrap in Mageia
(SVN at <A HREF="http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/rpmbootstrap">http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/rpmbootstrap</A> tar
at <A HREF="ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/src/rpmbootstrap-0.12.1.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/src/rpmbootstrap-0.12.1.tar.gz</A>).
The base approach is to cpio first a list of packages (the minimal one
which allows urpmi to work) and then reinstall them running urpmi.
List of packages is at:
<A HREF="http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/pb-modules/etc/pb.conf">http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/pb-modules/etc/pb.conf</A>
line 389/390.
So I was hoping to get near that number after all. Of course a chroot
doesn't require a boot loader, so all the packages brought due to the
install of grub are creating the extra blurb.
So I already have one mean to make it as small as possible. Now I'm
working on another case, where I just use auto_inst. So I'd like to be
able to use all the params available that could make me as near as
possible of 170 + grub and its deps (the real ones).
Will answer to some other mail in //
Bruno.
