Re: [CentOS] Centos 8 minimal install
Hi, someone pointed out the 'boot' iso, it's approx 600Mb, which works if you can connect to a network. I used that. In previous versions, I just downloaded the 'minimal install iso', mostly because it is a habbit because my network connection used to be a lot slower, so I downloaded them over night. I tend to install in different ways at work, just depends. Of course you can get the 7.something or 8.something iso, mount it on a loop and export it to use it as an install, or http, or kickstart etc etc.. but if not too big, having a disk with it comes in handy. (especially if it is not supported anymore, and you really need that old disto, because of that 'thing' you need to run *lol*) It's not headless, I have a few machines on a kvm switch, but after the initial install I use as if they are. Yeah I don't care much about top or bottom either, if someone likes top, it's top, if someone likes bottom it's bottom *lol* I think posting on top is easier than bottom than shredded in the middle, less likely overlook stuff that way whatever you choose, some just like top, others get po-ed by it.. can't make everyone happy all the tme. thanks for the tip !

Re: [CentOS] Centos 8 minimal install
just to piss off people like you, you might know the type, they never really answer any questions, lurk around on a forum like this acting like a (self-proclaimed) genius lecturing and patronizing people, as if they have to be worthy to get an answer from you (which you typically never do anyway), formulated by your delusional standards. If your mindset is like that, why don't you just not answer to begin with, nobody is really interested would be my best bet. and no, my idea of minimal is not 3GB, try and read the thread again.

Re: [CentOS] Centos 8 minimal install
Hi David, right, that's the easies, have something minimal (or 'boot' if it is called that), that you can just install a basic machine with, and install everything else as needed while connected to a network. Yup, 600Mb is kinda stiff. I am installing it on a physical box. thanks! Ron On 3/26/20 6:41 PM, david wrote: At 05:12 PM 3/26/2020, R C wrote: Hello, is there a minimal install for Centos 8?

When you get to selecting the software, choose 'minimal', or whichever option seems to work best for you. I chose 'minimal', because I have scripts that install just what I want. It's beyond me why it takes 600 megs, but at least it fits on a CD (if anyone still uses them). And it does work on at least one physical box and a VirtualBox VM on windows.
