Greetings all, We've just done an install of a golden image of SLES9 almost completely by the "From LPAR to Virtual Servers in Two Days" book. The only difference is, in our case, we included the C/C++ compiler and tools packages in the install. Of course, this installed a lot of RPMs, some of which don't seem to be of all that much use to us. For example, I doubt we're going to need a DHCP daemon, or fetchmail, or dosfstools, or gpm.
My question for the list involves those RPMs that are installed, that I've seen installed before on other distros, but I'm not sure we really need, i.e. the XFree86-* RPMs on a system that doesn't have X installed. Or the at RPM, when we plan on using and standardizing to cron. If we start getting rid of these RPMs in an attempt to make the golden image as lean as possible, will this break stuff we may need later?
